The Mask says..

O' you! the wisest of all creatures,
I am a part of you and your nature.

Know that,
Each one lives with a Mask of his own,
No among-st you can claim  'not known'!

I am the seen to you but unseen to others,
Wagging out the shades of your colors!

You can see me in the mirror of your thoughts,
When you are smiling carrying a million words!

When the anger hits on the cord of your relations,
I am helpless to bring out the care that is hidden.

When your deep ocean sheds a stream of sadness,
I come forward,to cover the hatred and emptiness!

When you smile by the end of the toughest day,
I embrace your broken pieces to stand up again.

When your sugar coated words comfort another one,
I know whats the story running across your heart!

When you cheat and lie by resting on my shoulder,
I am at guilt to know that you are my owner.

When you play with the emotions of your companion,
I am ashamed to stand as your oblivious curtain!

At times you make me proud of your goodness,
Next moment i hang my head down in shame!

Like a moving water falling out of sieve,
Your emotions move across to reside in me.

When you talk of the Mask on the next door,
Ponder to self, Can you pull off your own?.

Take this poetic challenge.Mask and masks, masks everywhere. What is it that the mask tries to hide? put it in prose poem, poetry, micro-poem, haiku or anything lyrical. #masks

P.S:Mask ,Each one holds to live by the competitive world.May be,To make a stand,to mend a heart,to comfort a soul,to grow more strong,to live by respect,or to find a way out.

There is no person who has not comforted himself underneath this concealed guard but what matters is motive.You may carry it for a good deed but using it to stab a soul is the lowest a human falls to.

All i can say is be careful to save yourself from the losers who can wound you any moment and embrace the winners who never let their other self know about the angel in them.
