The Mask

The Mask By: Miracle Man 10-19-2018 Sometimes I fail to recognize the man That hides his face behind a mask. Who prefers the periphery (And being alone) over the public eye While finding no task too daunting to attempt; But behind this mask, Lurks the face of an angry man; Most days this man is filled with compassion, But depression constantly tells him he is worthless, To fire back and “Take no prisoners”
