Let him remain, that violent tiger
Who strives to cause pain
Sick him on the deserving
And not on me
You say no to slavery
But no when I open up
So what are you afraid of
If my voice be heard?
Is my off-tune key not the right one for your soul
Be honest with me, be true to your love
Do you like my special occasion so much
That every moment is expected to be special?
In reality I wear a normal mask
That he is displeased with
I do not want to please you with some fake self
I give you my best and worst
Can you be my specialist?
Who will clean my masks when they become dirty
Or are you just an admirer who is tired of wearing his mask?

A very interesting quote. Your poem contained some of the sentiments I've always thought myself about love, about how it requires the upmost trust and fearlessness to be genuine.

I really like this, it is deep and full of sensitivity, a really strong piece of writing.

Nicely written....nice and emotive. Well done.
PS. Phil...it's 'utmost' - not 'upmost'.

Very interesting perspective on just trying to be a couple. I like the way you write.

But the point I like the most is that one just has to be one self. You do that with excellence. Sure masks may be fine for day to day life and keeping up those ol' appearances that we sometimes need to keep up so we can "all get along". However, when we come home, we should be able to take them off for our specialist, eh?

Thanks,

Tim
