Ever felt as if you were hiding yourself behind a mask? Ever felt as if there were more to someone you know, but you didn't know what? Here's your chance to explain.
I want you to write a poem with the title Beneath the/my (either one)mask. Fill it with sorrow, write with hope, whatever this makes you think of. Make me smile, make me cry, make me feel something when I read it. I don't care what form you choose, so take the reigns.
but please:
No sticky caps
No erotica
No swearing, unless you absolutely and completely feel it's justified
I have been dealing with my own mask a lot lately and want to see what others have to say on the subject. Also, I need to get rid of some points. So let's see those entries!
