Louie Jean Gutierrez Poet Verse

Unmasked

Curved up lips and a glimmering smile,
Lopsided grin and shiny shimmering eyes.
The things you conceal, everything you hide,
Cannot be seen, nor be felt by untrained spies.

Salty tears and dreaded fears unknown,
Deep dark secrets and white lies you've told.
You cover all that you refuse to be shown,
Memories of what you do not wish to unfold.

Cries of agony those lips once probably spoke,
Those unwanted emotions you wish to revoke.
Droplets of tears your eyes once must have shed.,
Now you chose to hide the pain you want to end.

There is no need to hide, no need to conceal,
Such hideous emotions you do not wish to feel.
You can hide all you want, but you can never run,
Hear the words of one with the same mask in hand.
