Don't be fooled by me.1
Don't be fooled by the face i wear.2
for i wear a mask,a thousand masks,3
masks that i'm afraid to take off,4
and none of them is me.5
For god's sake don't be fooled.6
I give you the impression that i'm secure,7
that cofidence is my name and coolness8
is my game,that the water's calm9
and i'm in command,and that i need no one.10
But don't believe me.11
My surface may seem smooth but12
my surface is my mask,ever-varying13
and ever-concealing.14
Beneath lies no complacence.15
Beneath lies confusion and fear and16
aloneness.but i hide this.i don't17
want anybody to know it.18
I panic at the thought of my weakness19
and fear being exposed.20
That's why i frantically create a21
mask to hide behind,a nonchalant22
sophistcated facede,to help me prtend,to shield me from the glance that knows.but such a game is precisely my salvation.23
My only hope,and i know it.24
that is,if it's followed by acceptance,25
if it's followed by love.26
It's the only thing that can liberate27
me from myself,from my own self-built28
prison walls,from the barriers i so pianstakingly erect.29
It's the only thing that will assure me30
of what i can't assure myself,31
that i'm really worth something.32
I don't like to hide.33
I don't like to play superficial phony games.34
I want to stop playing them.35
I want to be genoine and spontaneous36
and me,but you've got to help me.37
You've got to hold out your hand38
even when that's the last thing i seem to want.39
Only you can wipe away from my eyes the bland stare of the breathing dead.40
Only you can call me into aliveness.41
Each time you're kind and gentle and encouraging,each time you try42
to understand because you really care,43
my heart begins to grow wings,very small44
wings,very feeble wings,45
but wings!46
With your power to touch me into47
feeling you can breath life into me.48
I want you to know that.49
Who am i,you may womder.50
I am someone you know very well.51
For i am every man you meet,52
and i am every woman you meet.53
The End54

interesting. It seems the youthful disguise / fakeness seems a little played out to me especially during ones youth, but it was good none the less. I find writing poetry is more personal and theraputic than something we should be publishing and making money off of. Anyone can write a poem but in the end only you know what it truly means.

Everyone wears a mask I think. But even a mask can give a clue as to who you really are.
AS for me to strangers I wear a mask saying I am kind, understanding, and give advise that gives off a positive feeling.
To the people who are close to me, I take off said mask and become a bit twisted, give my comments to the point, and give 3 options when they want to hear what I have to say.
a. soft
b. hard
c. The incredibly harsh truth
I rarely give the options and just go for c.
But for my special person...I am both^^

wow. that was cool. I kinda feel said you know. About the whole mask thing. But most people do feel that way. YOu can never tell who a person really is. There's always something they left out or lied about. Hmm really good though.

I like it! Good job!
