Mask Above My Face Poem by Tulsi Shrestha

Mask Above My Face
I want to to tear the mask I enforced to wear
To release myself from suffocated breath I bear.
To ensure freedom of breath, I breathe to dare
Let me paint my house with color of my choice
Let me sing my song with echo of my own voice.

Searching my identity surrounded with guests
It is too inside my house where I prefer to rest.
I will regain strength to be one among the best.
Let me avoid exchange of such useless gain
Let me regard it as black clouds without rain.

I do not like glamour of morning dream
As it disappears along with dawn beams.
Not wise to follow those who promise concert
To shower you with rain in deep desert.
Let regard them as empty inside as hollow.

Don't expect shadows of others to accompany you.
Believe in your own shadow, he is faithful to you.
Fly high above the clouds with your own wings
No trace of doubt remained, you are wrong
Let shower bleeding of fragile heart with love song.
