The Mask I Portray

by Dark Kitten   Sep 24, 2005


As I look into my mirror,
And put on my makeup,
I can not help but notice all the little lines,
From where I could not sleep and I had stayed up

Conceal all the mistakes,
With this mask I continue to portray,
Wipe away all the tears,
Because they will not take the pain away

Put blush on my cheeks,
To make me look alright,
So my skin does not look so pale,
So my life seems so bright

The shadows on my eyes,
Will blend right on in,
With the blue, sparkling powder,
So they will not notice the sadness within

Gloss on my lips,
Can hide the dry pain,
Sucking up the moisture,
That drives me insane

Put on my happy smile,
The fake, contented one,
In which I hide my fears,
And my entire life from everyone

This mask is all I need,
To keep them from getting to me,
Like my little hiding place,
Hiding from everyone I see

A cloak wrapped so tight,
Because I am afraid to trust,
Afraid they will hurt me again,
And all my patients will com-bust,

With all the emotion,
Building up and up inside,
It all will boil over,
There are only so many things we can put aside

    So sad - I thought the flow was great, sometimes the rhyming seemed a little forced - but it's rare to see a poem without forced rhymes . . .

    Peace. [Sole]

    Yeah definatly going on my favorites list this is great the first stanza flowed weird but the rest was amazing

    Conceal all the mistakes,
    With this mask I continue to portray,
    Wipe away all the tears,
    Because they will not take the pain away

    that was my favorite

    the only other thing is that the theme of this poem was hising sadness with makeup and i think thats a VERY interesting concept very neat idea but you got off topic the last 5 stanzas i think your should have stuck with the makeup thing trhoughout the whole poem cause i really am excited by the idea but 5/5 anyhow great job
