The Mask slipped away

The mask had slipped away

to reveal what lay beneath

and to some that’s enough

but not for those who I have

known: they talk of what they

want and to please I let loose

my baggage, only to learn that

it isn’t enough; there’s always

their past, their present and all

that may go with it, that gets in

the way.

An though lonely is a horrible

place to be, yet mayhap, more

preferable to the pain of loss,

yet again.

Demonstrate you care, ‘an

get yourself confused like

you have been before. An

that’s the lesson of the day,

so for tomorrow I’ll dare to

walk alone again an then

I may feel less sorrow.

And they always ask if

I understand; and I always

do; yet does it help me

keep the pain at bay, ‘no.’

Now where is my mask?

I ask, seeking naught but

the peace I have known

before; before the mask

slipped away to reveal

what lay beneath, when

I’d hardly been touched

by that which I feel now.

“Now, where is my mask?”
