peel me off, he exhorted, for there is more truth hidden in the deep, underneath beneath the facade of hideous blackness that I show off in pretense. there is greatness waiting to be pushed out and released to this world and what's within needs to shine and thereby shred the dark cover's hide skin me like a potato and make the food make appealing gestures to the hungry hearts, for now, the time has come to unmask your true self it is time that people begin to know the real you unmask your mask unmask me !

Your pen sings truth again. THe masks we wear, when did we first play their facade? in our elder years or maybe in the crib, we careful selected our roles. The masks we wear, can they become our new faces is identity solid or simply transitory? Beware these guises that you select they may be the one you wear until death. "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |

It has been a while hasn't it? But the poem is spot on, we all need to peel off the false layers once in a while, the masks, the pain etc. bravo hon, always loved your style... Isis *The greatest warrior is one that does not need to fight* ~Isis~ |
