In the masquerade of life I'm the one in the clown costume. Musics echoes all around and laughter fills the room. Yet, here I stand alone tho' in the midst of a crowd. Crying deep inside. Laughing just a little too loud. A smile for the world to see. My mask, firmly in place. Should anyone look for tears they would not see a trace. Never meant to be a star, I'll always be a back stage hand. You'll not see me in the spot light for I'm just a member of the band. For some life is a constant party, for others, a continuous parade. But I always seem to be stuck in the middle of a masquerade. --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |

There is a hint of familiar feeling in this for me. I enjoyed the concept of this poem. |

So very nice to see you among us again....have I been missing you or have you just been hiding? Lovely piece and yes the masquerade in life seems to always be there and the many masks we must wear seem to constantly grow each day. Wonderful penning from you. |

Hi my dear beautiful Angel, The masquerade feeling must be in the air because I have been working on a piece pretty much just like this except you did a awesome job with this work of truth, I so much enjoyed, thank you. Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

Tennesee Angel The play can not begin with out the stage hand getting the spot light just right. A song is incomplete without all the members of the band playing their part. I'm afraid you are an intrical part like it or not.. great writing lookin forward to more......nona |

Temptress -- I'm so glad that you enjoyed this piece. Mark -- Not been hiding. Had a dry spell and had to back off a little bit for a while. But I'm back and have a lot of ideas bouncin' around in this head o' mine. Thank you so much for a lovely response.Marge -- Boy, have I missed you, girl! Thank you so much for the response and the hugs. Been reading a lot of your posts last night and this morning and I see you're just as brilliant as ever. Cerenity -- Thanks for your sweet response. We all wear a mask to a certain extent but it's okay as long as we have a place like Passions where we can remove the mask and simply be ourselves. nona -- What a touching response you penned. Thank you so much. I look forward to reading your work as well. --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |
