I wear not a face
But a thousand masks
All I hide behind
Hoping for my true self
Never to shine through
The masks are stereotypes
Of what I'm supposed to be
Masks that I hide behind so that nobody can see

With my friends there are many
Fire symbolizes the unruliness in hurting
Without knowing
Water is the way we flow together
As friends so evenly
Wind is wiled, untamed and free
Something I keep in my mind always
The earth is my refuge
A place that I live
All of the elements are in my masks

The moon, all stages
Symbolizing something so bright in the future
However untouchable
Rainbows...
Find the end and treasure is with you
Kinda like our lives
Shooting stars we wish upon
Never realizing how lucky we truly are
Flowers so fragile
Blowing in the wind
Free as can be
A freedom we will never have
Until the fateful day
When we will be complete

Tears
So many have I cried
A lifelong battle I can never win
Keeping them inside
Purple is the color of Royalty
Royalty everyone is
And pink the color of love
A love we all wish for

All these things
Mixed in a mask that I hide behind
Never letting the real person show through
If you had a mask this beautiful...
Would You?

In my freshman year of high school we got an assignment in our family living class to make ourselves a "mask" first we were to draw or illustrate it, then write something about it.. I took it a little differently and wrote a poem describing how it looked.. I also drew one, but my teacher kept it.. lol...
