Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Take Off Your Pharaoh's Mask

Take off your pharaoh’s mask, stay awhile.
Be not uppity for it does not suit you.
I like honesty, 
For who does not?

Throw off your walls – the little ones and the bigs.
Toss them aside, for they will do you no good here.
Conversation is real.
I am your listener.

What chains of madness has wrapped your tongue?
How long has it been since you felt your bliss or
Understood what your heart wants?
Sarcasm and off putting behavior will do you no good.

I am an expert at helping your inner child
Find her way out, moving toward the light
Of her own soul’s opportunities.
And who does not want that?
Truthfully?
