As I walk down my hall
I stare at the masks on the wall
Wondering which shall I choose
To face the world today?

The clown with the smile in place
Without a frown to mar her face
Is that the one I should pick
To make me presentable?

Or the jester to make them laugh
Complete with the joker staff
Will I be acceptable
If I am funny?

The beautiful details of one with a gem
Should I show this mask to them
To dazzle all with radiance
Such complexibility to share?

Or how about the lady with a tear
Show I can reveal my fear
And still remain confident
When I face the world?

So many masks from which to choose
Which will win while others loose
How can I decide who to be?
I stop and face left

Looking I see the perfect fit
A mixture of them all in it
Dazzled I am to recognize
My own face in a mirror.

Hey! Talk about profound, az, you did good. We were thinking the same things tonight.

Excellent! I really liked the direction, and the conclusion of this thought provoking poem. Thanks for sharing your abilities.

Very nice work. Your piece reveals how we all feel at one time or another, but know not how to say it. I like it very much.
