Can't shout.
Can't cry.
They'll hear you and ask
What's wrong.

Wrong?  Nothing's wrong.
My mask fell off...
The wrong people saw the real me.
What now?

Now?  Now we start over.
We begin again.
Swear to be real,
The mask's already gone.

Gone?  Who's gone?
Every part of me is here.
And you?  I don't know you.
But maybe that's just as well.

Well?  We're all well.
Well and fine.
We'll just put our masks back on...
Until we can be free again.

Among the stars...

I don't exactly get what you're trying to say in this poem. Are you expressing hate? or love? or what? I thought the poem was good it just wasn't clear to me.

"Among the stars..."  I liked how you ended with this line, makes you think beyond to what happens after you stop reading the poem!(At least for me anyway)

I must admit I am somewhat confused here.  Is this saying people saw the real you and didn't like it?  Well?  That happens!!!
Interesting work if you just clear this up we'll all understand better..

Great job...i'm just a little confused though.  I do kinda know what you mean though.  Good job, again!!!

I don't know what I was describing here... whether it was happy or sad... Sorry I can't clear it up, but I don't know what I was talking about.  Life, maybe?  Who knows.  The words just sort of... came.

Hope~
If you need
to cry then let
it all out.If you
need to shout do it
really loud. Who
cares who hears
ya.  
Sometimes we
let the wrong people
in our lives and let them
see the real us.That happens
and we get go on. It don't
really matter what
others think.
Sometimes
being real is
hard but its whats
best.The real person will
come out anyway.better
sooner than
later.
The people
that we think
we know we often the 1s
we know nothing
about.
Don't hide
yourself again
the real has been
seen. keep it
out
~Angie
