I am hiding behind a mask
Not ready to show the world who I truly am
Or maybe I am just waiting for someone brave enough to take my mask off
Tell me its ok
I like you the way you are
Now you just have to show the world who you really are
The way I see you

Hmm... I liked this poem. It's short and it also left a point. I feel that if not everybody, then mostly everybody is hiding behind a mask or insecure about something. So very nice, although I felt that "Or maybe" should have stood by itself on the third line. It would have read better that way.

Ahh The Phantom of the Opera.

How we all like to unmask each other... even without being asked.

Indeed, I don't think we should ask to be unmasked.

Peace. Love. Forgiveness.
Blessings and Guidance

as long as you are comfortable in who you are, nothing else should matter

take it off and be yourself

I think at times, we all wear our own kind of mask... it's always a brave and courageous thing to take them off... enjoyed. RDB

Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight.........
