Array ( [sid] => 119502 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Placid Mask [time] => 2006-05-04 18:43:52 [hometext] => so placid and fake, how will anyone ever see? [bodytext] => Put on this mask
I laugh easily
What can I say?
Depression?
Make it go away
Self-doubt, imperfection?
Please let it fade

I'm not my only problem
And am well aware
I will not catch a break
So I shall replace my mask
So placid and fake

This world is other than bleak
But, without eyes, how will I see?

Dig into my skin
Internal, external alike; bleed
Forgive me Father, for I have sinned
How else would I be "me"

...placid and fake...

Like the rest, all that I hate
How will I ever be restored
To my prevous state?
I'm too far in, never to be the same

Who will know what lies beneath?
This horrid skin-deep smile?
Please tell me someone can see
I'm just not who I used to be

I'm sorry for this mask
It has left me alof
No one will ever see
This mask refuses to come off

Placid Mask

Put on this mask
I laugh easily
What can I say?
Depression?
Make it go away
Self-doubt, imperfection?
Please let it fade

I'm not my only problem
And am well aware
I will not catch a break
So I shall replace my mask
So placid and fake

This world is other than bleak
But, without eyes, how will I see?

Dig into my skin
Internal, external alike; bleed
Forgive me Father, for I have sinned
How else would I be "me"

...placid and fake...

Like the rest, all that I hate
How will I ever be restored
To my prevous state?
I'm too far in, never to be the same

Who will know what lies beneath?
This horrid skin-deep smile?
Please tell me someone can see
I'm just not who I used to be

I'm sorry for this mask
It has left me alof
No one will ever see
This mask refuses to come off

I really, really like this piece of work. And, just so you know, your never in too deep, someone can always reach you.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
