Dear LadyCC

To true and at the same time sad. People have become so superficial that we have no choice but to put on a mask on, more a self preservation mechanism I/'/d say. You have illustrated so well how this has become a necessity to hide for what ever reason. Beautiful write. God bless love

Greetings

I/'/ve always said everyone has a public face and a private face.
We are expected to act in certain ways in certain situations, though not always the way we want to act. I think society does force us to wear masks, you are totally correct in that.

Your poem begs the question; why do we wear masks?
We must each answer that for ourselves, and the irony of your write is that we see pretense in others, but not in us!!

You poem invites us to look within at what we find unacceptable in ourselves. We don/'/t wear masks for others, we wear them to hide from who we are.

I enjoyed this immensely and hope you keep writing here.
