I wear a mask
To hide my tears.
I wear a smile
To hide my fears.
 
Behind this smile,
My soul is aching.
Behind this smile,
My heart is breaking.
 
Behind this mask
Lies torture and madness.
Behind this mask
Lies pain and sadness.
 
Behind this mask,
The sunshine has gone.
Behind this mask,
Darkness lives on.

wow, Lynn, you have just prompted my Sunday Repost (missed it lasy week)
and....how this links with my challenge piece for Gordon's challenge.
 
We all wear masks, Lynn, it is our form of privacy, but sometimes,
for a moment, we lower them.
This is a different genre for you and speaks volumes about the writer, Zy x

Forgot to say, enjoyed the utube links...
 
I miss you both posting in The Jukebox,
 
as DJs....you were both fantastic, I had many a late night listen of fabulous links, many I had never even heard before, thanks for then too, Zy x

Hi Zy,
 
This is the kind of stuff that I used to write. Even when I tried to write humorous poetry, it always ended up dark somehow. I usually just go with the flow and write whatever comes into my mind. I let my muse decide which direction she wants to move in.
 
I was feeling rather sad and stressed out today. I'd had a hard day at work - hence the poem.
Kicking leaves can be so hard, sometimes!

Is this not a form of kicking leaves, too? Unloading frustrations?
 
I liked this. Masks & smiles... I'm hearing Marillion.
 
(You've given me the notion to post a real old  oldie under the guise of a sunday repost)

Hi Gordon,
 
No, I was definitely hearing Smokey,
but I'm pleased that I inspired you, he he!

Masks can hide a lot of things. Sometimes, we have to hide what we're feeling. But, most of the time, we just need to let it all out. Have a good scream or shout - or even just write it all down.
 
Hugs right back at you, Cara.

Hi Jen,
 
I like to trawl back through the oldies too. If I have a spare half-hour, I like to sit and re-read poems from months ago. Now and again, I even take a trip back to the beginning of this site and read some of the earliest poems. I think we have enough here to fill hundreds of anthologies! I like trawling through the collective poems too.
I don't leave comments, though. I prefer to wait for the Sunday reposts.
 
I'm pleased that you enjoyed it - but I'm back to my usual cheeky self now.
 
Lynn
xx

I think at times, we all have to put a mask on, not just for ourselves but for others - I know as a mother at times, I've had to hide my tears and fears from them, I could understand this so well - I sometimes think I will crack with a force smile - but please do not think I am unhappy lol - we all have our sad times and our happy ones

Emma x
