I have not been truly honest with you I have lied from the start I am not who I appear to be I put on my mask and hide the real me You have fallen in love I have fallen in love We have fallen in love But I’m not so sure if You have fallen in love with the mask or me It is my fault you do not know me It is my fault you do not know my past It is my fault for putting on this mask If I show you the real, me will you love me still Will you love me still if you found out? What I have done if you find out what has Been done to me? Will you still love me if you Really truly meet the real me I love you and I always will You are the one for me I do not want anyone else so please Accept me, love me, cherish me, and hold me With my mask off please do it for the real me ~~~Gaurdurthoughts~~~ |

Erica, this is a strking piece of writing. Oh, on the surface it may not appear that way but reading it over and thinking about it, it is very stark. I say that because there are those who fall in love with a persona, and really when you get right down to it, loving someone for exactly the way they are, no disguises is really the only love that IS love. This poem states that clearly. It's an honest piece, whether it's real or not, I won't ask, doesn't matter you know, the message is an honest one and I wonder how many people could confess to doing just what it says.

These are very honest and open feelings... Kinda like having talked on the phone several times...only the voice felt.. and then...the date..the first real meeting. and the anxiety that goes with it...Trying to be ourself while not sure if ourself is enough....I have been there... Great job of getting this down on paper and expressing your feelings... |

Very real writing, and for any of us... is it the mask? write on Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Very touching and heartfelt piece here, have dealt with situations like this and know the anxiety that can go along with it. Be honest to yourself and everything will be fine. Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer. |
