Facade.
October 24, 2011
When I put on this mask,
I become invincible.
Nothing can stop this person.
For I, have become invisible.
It hides me from the world.
No emotions need to be shown.
Oh how I love,
Being unknown.
As I pass them by
Their expressions are all the same.
I’m just another person.
One person they pass. One with no name.
As I place it on my face
My mood begins to change.
This façade I put on
Every single day.

Wow, I take that last comment on your other poem back, well part of it anyways, lol. This is now my favorite piece of yours. I can so totally relate to this. At one point in my life this poem completely suited and described me very well. I enjoyed this so much. Thank you for sharing it. :) Brings memories for me. You did a great job connecting with your audience. :))))

I really like this. You can tell that you put a lot of emotion into this. I like the third stanza the best. You're a really good writer.
