There is no answer but inside I am screaming.
Why do we ponder with masks on as we dance?
I’m a culprit at times; to change, help a world’s trance.
I don’t mean to be gloomy, but give it a thought.
A child’s life, more simple, more honest, ours’ not
So with any mask off, you will feel even more free,
And see straight inside whether it, you or me.

Just a thought, but excellent and insightful in its articulation. The accumulation of facade after facade through life definately hinders true understanding.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
