[hometext] => 'This poem came from a desire to tell people that appearances can be deceiving, and people aren't always what they seem'.
[bodytext] => I don't show myself to the world, for I don't like who i am. The mask I wear covers the real me. Sometimes I forget I'm wearing it, and i let my real self show. The mask I wear is of pride and stubborness, to hide my weakness. It hides how I really feel. People fall for my false front and never meet the real me. They believe my mask and don't look deeper. They believe I'm exactly what they see, and what they see is only a mask. Underneath this mask Is a happy, joyful young woman. Who only hides from you 'cause she's too emotional underneath, and thinks you'd laugh if you understood how deeply she cares. 'Cause she doesn't know how to explain what is happening to her, this joyful young woman is me. And I'm so very shy and confused 'cause I don't know what to say so I wear the mask to shut it all away. I'm good at hiding beneath my mask 'cause I've had practice over the years. Now I'm afraid to let it show, afraid to let it out that I'm growing up and i have feelings. I'm afraid to take off my mask, it's almost a part of me now, but I have to take it off,I must 'cause masks are useless. They just put off getting to know someone. All I wish is for him to care, 'cause I want to remove my mask. And if he cares enough, I will. So he'd better get prepared 'cause the real me is coming out, after several years of being hidden. So watch out world, here I come my mask is being lifted permanently.

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. ©
