The Mask 

We all possess

We all wear 

No matter where we are 

What we do 

Whom we meet 

We wear 

The mask 

The mask of unspoken emotions 

Which has a plastic smile

Which hides the vibrations we feel 

Which makes us hide the truth 

The mask 

Which makes us coward 

Steals the power

To express what we actually feel 

To scream our heart out 

 But if we remove this mask 
Remove the barriers of expressing our thoughts 

We may have some enemies at beginning

We may have struggles to face 

But the one one removes 

Is the one who achieves

    Ha-ha,
    I myself posted a blog titled,
    The Problem With Our Masks:
    https://debooworks.wordpress.com/2014/09/10/the-problem-with-our-masks/

    And one feedback: I think you forgot to use punctuations in the poem.

        😁, thanks.

  2. Masks and facades come to our rescue when we want to live in peace. But, there always come some people in life who tries to break the facade, undo the mask and sees the real you and accepts you the way you are 🙂 Loved the poem, Saloni 🙂 and great Gravatar pic 😉

      What you said is true but we should always be the real us. Why hide ourselves just to have a good image?
      By the way thanks a lot 🙂

      1. Yes that’s true 🙂 We hide sometimes to see, who cares enough to sneak a peak to the real you 😉 but that then makes things complex. You are welcome 🙂

        Yeah the more we expect and hide the more complications arise. We are the people who make life complicated otherwise it is very simple.

      3. Yes, at the end it’s our aim for more better and crossing that line, which leads to greed, makes life complicated. We always want to have control on things and want others to play the second fiddle.

        True

    Perhaps it’s the mask that makes us fit to live in this society. Each one is wearing a mask, anyway!

      Yeah but we all have to remove it so that we can live with honesty. Then there will be no secrecy
