for Mask

... I could kick you. I just got done prasing you for taking a different road and here you are on the beaten path with the rest of us.

That aside, it wasn't as terrible as I thought it was going to be. Two lines in I was already thinking up snide Phantom of the Opera comments, when I noticed this wasn't as over done as I thought. Yeah, you did the whole "I hide behind a mask. I need somebody to love." crap, but you did it well. The increased urgency towards the end was gripping. I could feel it. Congrats, you suprised me.

i liked this! The whole mask idea is cliche, but we all need to write something cliche once in awhile right? hehe..ne ways, i liked how you refered more to the actual mask in your poem, and not exactly about wearing it..

Ya know what i mean?

Example..how you said..

"This mask I hateIt's suffocating meIt's killing meIt's destorying me."

Which were my fav. lines too btw..

and i agree with it...we all need to just take off the masks we put on, because wearing one is never gonna get us anywhere.

*kw* this was really good :D

We all hide behind our masks - at least, I do as well. But at least we can escape through poetry, and let our true personas emerge with words. The aspect of this poem that I like is that it can be universalised. I love the line 'They are friends with the mask'. Good stuff.
