Behind The Mask Poem by carolyn oclaire

you hide behind that mask as if you afraid to show you face.
afraid to show the true essence of your case.

you hide from the world,
because you don't want to be apart for it.
because you are of the world.

you hide from the ones that love you.
and you won't give them the slightest clue
of you of who you really are.

you hide behind the mask because that is where you feel safe.
untouchable to the human race.

you hide behind the mask with only your eyes to be seen.
scared to take a chance and to be free.

maybe one day you will revile who you really are
to the ones who care the most.
or maybe not you may always be a ghost.
