Best Unmasking Poems

In borrowed plumes
a masquerade we stage.
Thoughts echo doctrines 
passions are preordained.
From broken families 
where fractured spirits weep
Mothers of soulful sorrow 
With eyes that never sleep.

We inherit canvases 
pre-primed with societal skews.
But the brush trembles in our hand 
Praying for a different magical muse.

Why is contentment...

The Unmasking ~
A Poem by Debbie_Philly 

THE UNMASKING
 
Lives laced with indiscretions the dance has begun.
Liars take the lead my muse sings the song.
Deception pierces the psyche wavering on the
edge of insanity.
The muse has been unmasked reveled is his
morbid soul. Contents purged of it’s deceitfulness.

Copycat Chinstrap penguins I see you everywhere,
In shopping malls on buses mocking our precious air, 
Why wear a mask underneath your chin,
Then go about in public donning an imbecilic grin,

Maybe I’m missing something the gills on your neck,
No I’m sure only fish have them, last...

Tasking An Unmasking

While in sun Trump had been basking,
What should be done is others tasking;
Thing we must do;
Make dreams come true;
Unsatisfactory things begin unmasking.

To unmask a false identity is to identify genuine authenticity.
It's painful, no, it kills me, but it's the only way to heal what's deep.
Pain in my body, it was a lie to me.
Deep regrets built in from long ago.
No.
Deep pits that have since grown cold.

When hopes begin to crumble,
it's high time to be humble.
This virus, Mr. President, now directs your fate.
Recognize this simple truth before it is too late,
and should it grant you vigor to complete whatever task,
before you set about it, please, please, put on a mask....

Behind the walls
of his fantasy
an actor played his role
dishonest in death
dishonest in life
 face like ashen coal

Taking the stage
left, center, and right
soliloquy to fawn
each pleading rehearsed
all truth in reverse
—footlights dark and gone

Beneath the mask, where scars reside,
A hero's facade, in shadows, I hide.
Head held high, though helpless I feel,
Smiling to conceal the wounds that are real.

I say "I'm okay" to dodge the queries,
Flooded questions, drowning worries.
Strength portrayed, yet breaking unseen,
A wall built high, suffering between.

Pain digs...

The lie travels the world
  in a flash,
the truth drags on
 sabe as slug almost
without leaving the place...
 Lie is extraction
of the real elements,
to occupy gaps
of the unreal world....
Other times extract
elements of the unreal world,
to fulfill the fictions
from the world of reality...
Is most active...

Awakening in a spiral, a dance of unmasking,
Consciousness flows like a turbulent river over the weary shores of the mind,
Truth—not a treasure to be found, but a veil to be lifted from the eyes of the soul,
In each moment, a layer of illusion melts under...

There are ghosts in the mirror,
how else could we see what is not there?
It can be dangerous to look seeking yourself,
yet more dangerous not to.

When my own apparition appeared
it felt like I was a passenger on a metro-line,
seeing the oncoming tunnels, the blinking of daylight
between...

unmasking a sunshine holiday 
feeling free and delightful in the gentle breeze
smiling at the first sight of the cool clear water 
the whole of my soul is free and i cherish the vibe of it all

totally relaxed, eyes closed, massaged by rare rhythms
the cardinal is...
