EACH AND EVERYONE OF US
HAS SOMETHING WE ALL SHOW
A FACE WE HAVE FOR PUBLIC
SO DIFFERENT FROM OUR OWN.
THIS STRANGER’S FACE THAT WE ALL HAVE
IS SPECIAL EVERYDAY
THE LINES ARE FIRM AND SET YOU SEE
SO DIFFERENT FROM OUR OWN.
THEY COME IN DIFFERENT SIZES
STYLES AND COLOURS TOO
VARIOUS MASKS FOR ALL TO WEAR
SO DIFFERENT FROM OUR OWN.
IT’S NAKED PAIN WE HIDE AWAY
SECURE BEHIND THIS SHELL
THE WEARING OF THE MASK BECOMES
THE HIDING OF THE TRUTH.
Stories, observations & rants from the crest of the hill
One writer’s impressions of the past seven decades.
Doing the best I can to keep it on the bright side
An insight to a heart mind and soul.

Thanks Sharon. Actually the poem was written about 20 years ago on my way to work. I didn’t remember it until I posted my blog.
