The Mask

People see the Mask but not the pain and the broken heart inside. People see the Mask of riches and success but not the beauty within. People see the Mask they don't see the spirit that's trapped. People see the Mask they don't see the soul that hope's for freedom. God doesn't see the Mask but See's the child within that wants freedom and love. Dedicated to Lily a Orphin girl that passed away.

when I wrote this poem I was thinking how we put masks on to protect us but people see the mask but not the child and that God see,s who we really are. priz

a powerful write, it is true God loves us for who we are just the way we are, we dont have to wear any mask we dont have to try to be someone we are not, he knows who we are every fine detail and still loves us, well written God bless you

I like the thoughts behind your poem. We all have that child that is hurt or whatever trapped within. Sara
