Priscilla Cockburn Poet Free verse

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.

Priscilla Cockburn July 1, 2009 at 2:08 PM 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

Diane Christian July 1, 2009 at 6:52 AM 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
