never a care come to those who consume their minds with themselves wandering around in nature's harvest,devouring the fruit of the earth so selfishly never tending to one's character never paying close attention to what is inside always looking to find another another one to devour...stealing their character,taking them for a ride a ride to the other side where all the masks are taken and worn on their face they are like a thief in the night, they try to steal others happiness darkness runneth over to the ones shielded by their mask,they look and talk like everyone else, blend in with the nature only the nature of wrath but sooner or later, the masks is unveiled, and the one wearing it can see ...that the only person being fooled is the person that needs to be free |

Really enjoyed this piece. The last stanza sums up so many emotions... A pleasure to read  Jenny Lee Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual. |

I agree with medusa. It sure is a reminder of high school. I have known many of these "masked people". Great piece Candace! |

Not only highschool but all through life you find people hiding behind their masks. Be they fakes, or scared to be themselves, clones of others, feeling that is the only way they will fit in. Most probably aren't worth knowing, but one or two may surprise you. Their beauty beneath the mask could astound you. This was a deep provoking piece Bravo The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there IS to celebrate. ~Isis~ (Daughter of Mystery) |

You have great insight and expressed it extremely well. I attempted a poem on this yesterday. Yours so much more captures what I was tryying to express. Frustrated with finding the right words, I resorted to a desperate attempt at humor. Extremely well done -RS There must be some kinda way out of here... say the joker to the thief There's to much confusion, I can't get no relief - Hendrix |
