Unmasked...

Contributed by misfitme on Tuesday, 23rd January 2007 @ 12:29:49 AM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles




My voice grew ever softer~

as away fell every mask

What truth I have to offer~

you have only for to ask...


And if it is other than I~

that you continue to see

Know your own to be my lie~

for never you shall I deceive...


Then the gaze I'd not let falter~

from the time that I'd begun

To lowered one I altered~

as my say with I was done...


No comfort held the silence~

that lengthened as we listened

While thoughts suffered their own violence~

till eyes met eyes that glistened...

First contact is often not when first we meet but perhaps when first we see.

I enjoyed this ..... till eyes met and glistened.
It seems some people dont want to really see us they rather live in the world of a mask.
I cannot do those things, I need to just be me and throw away the many masks I have been taught to wear.... Incredible write.

So much pain and doubt occurs under this line:

"...While thoughts suffered their own violence~..."

Breathe free of the mask and set your soul to task for it is in the depth of such eye contact that new directions appear.

Beautiful

Peace

Sweet MissyMe sometimes we feel we need to hide behind a mask. I refuse to do this for if somebody doesn't like me for who I really am they can go & get stuffed~ You my sweet friend need no mask to hide behind. You are an incredible lady. You are special and unique. Never let anybody tell you any different you hear me. An incredible and outstanding write. Well done Moon Maiden~
love, hugs n prayers,

I find it quite interesting that this falls under "self-struggle" ..

This could be a conversation with the reflection in the
mirror. A battle of inner emotion and need. Self-acceptance
vs. what you feel is expected ~
Love, acceptance and beauty FILL our world when we give those
things to ourselves first. It aides in our belief in ourselves, and there
is nothing more attractive than self-confidence.

Very thought provoking and incredibly poetically penned.

The more I read your work the more I start to enjoy your play on the English language; like a lil personalized stamp on your work! I liked this piece quite a bit; well done.
