Why does it have to be so difficult
Why must everyone hide behind a perfect mask
So when one comes reaching out from the darkness
Others around begin to shudder
Yet hide behind their disapproving laughs
It's not right
It's not fair
To be tied up in such a judgemental affair
Who are you kidding
Who are you lying to?
When we all perfectly know we have nothing to prove
I'm sorry to point this out
But Someone younger or perhaps older
Isn't better than me or you
Age is just a number
And that smile upon someone's face
Is just another jewel added
To this masquerade
I'm fed up when I look around
I can no longer take this sitting down
I'm tired
Tired of people being pushed around
For their feelings and for their fears
When everyone is just human
Yet so disapprovingly judgemental...

That hits home pretty hard.....people are always accusing people for being different. I know I go through it every day. I really liked this one Kristen. I did notice a few places where certain words seemed to not fit quite right, but other than that, I can't find much of any problem with it. Very nice work.

You're correct... it's not right.  But, unfortunately, that's our twisted, conformed society for you.
"Why must everyone hide behind a perfect mask"
That was my favorite line.  There is lots of truth behind the words in this piece.
I really enjoy your work... you're a talented poet.  I hope to see more soon

I wish your fingers could touch all I can't say... no one should ever feel this alone.
