Masks

Hi everyone! I hope you’re all well. Today, I’m sharing a poem with you. I hope you enjoy it!

There are painted faces everywhere.
Nothing seems quite real.
People hiding behind their masks,
Scared to show how they feel.

But what would happen if they did?
If the masks all fell away?
Would they all express themselves?
Or hide out from the day?

Would a face that expressed sorrow
Cause all the world to end?
Could a frown, so real and honest
Transmit and infect a friend?

Or could it just be so lovely,
To see faces how they are?
Each tear and frown a story told—
A truth that shines like stars.

Thank you, as ever, for stopping by to read my words. It means a lot!

Until next time,

George
