Best Mask Poems

In a house beside the forest lives a woman and her son

He is scarred by burns and fire – hidden kept from everyone

There is land where he can wander far away from prying eyes,

But he misses friends to play with; all alone he often cries.


That...

Behind the mask there is a frail and fragile me
Enigmas clothed in conundrums; that the naked I can’t see

'Behind the mask is concealed, my authenticity
Examine my history to unravel my perplexing mysteries

Behind the mask it is unseen paralyzing, piercing pain
With arrogance and self-assurance camouflaging the...

It sits back and waits, it lives in your soul.
It slams you and breaks you when you finally feel whole.
It’s been so long since you’ve let it in. 
Standing on guard, it just wants to win.
You finally give in the force is to strong.
You remember...

The Mask I wear is of a Comedian
Not showing the world I hurt
For when you laugh or cry looks the same
Sarcasm is rooted in pain.

The Mask I wear is of an Introvert
Being lonely than risk not being liked
I keep to myself and try not to...

Passing shadows all through the night…
                                  Just memories I couldn’t fight…

if you could only see

behind that mask

behind the smile that lies

if you could only go

a little deeper to see

behind her eyes

she hides from you

she hides the truth

she hides the evidence

so you have no proof

of her lack of what

you thought was there -

strength and hope

aren't behind

Once the night had fallen upon a sleepless slumber,
Whence the winter woke me when the third was three in number.

I sense that a wince doth lurk and wear which wicked gaze,
Of conniving shadows cast between my bedroom windowpanes.

I try to sit up from the fluff...

Beauty incarnate
happiness radiates, tears

(Cinquain Chain) 


Feelings 
May come and go 
Some pretend them so well 
Hiding theirs under the thick mask 
Most of the time 
They wear. 

Conflicts 
Are born,you hurt 
People when you pretend 
Love and feelings that you don't feel 
Donning a mask 
All time. 

True...

“Fear whispers worry into your ear, anxiety into your hopes and doubt into your faith… Love whispers hope and peace” – by poet

With a brain washed pale
By voices thundering
Silent screams echoing through me
Clearing away the debris
Of disappointment and disillusionment
My mind darkened on a clear night
No...

Take off that mask that hides your past it's ok to show the real you
Like everyone else we have made mistakes and are struggling
 each day just to make it through
Take a deep breath of air and open up your heart,
 if you continue to...

Forgive me for loving you, even though you never asked,
a secret kept like a pebble in my shoe, now smarting.
If heart dares to belong, it's just a weakness from my past.

Make scars worth the fight, put back the pin from grenade you grasped,
moment of truth...

"Poetry is important to the writer but I feel it is all about the reader." 
By Poet

Today as I open up my computer what will I see,
a contest looking back at me?
As I read the rules I must decide is this one for me,
or will...
