The Masks

A Part of me was dark,
It lay dormant
In a tiny space of my heart and head.

I covered it up quite well
Threw on the mask
Covering the black spot with a fragile shell.

I didn't even remember it for a while
I sailed through the days
My face showing its ever present smile.

Then the mask started to crumble
I freaked out
Afraid that my secrets would cause my life to crumble.

They are dark and full of pain
They have a life of their own
And I am covered by their stain.

Can I be loved once they are revealed by the sun?
Will they cause my demise.
Or cause my beloved to run?

    This is a great write. I think that all of us wear masks at some times in our lives, and some will wear them for longer than others. And yes, i'm positive you can still be loved even if your mask falls to pieces right in front of him. If he truly loves you then i'm sure that he won't run, but more likely to help you pick up the pieces.
    Good Luck anyway.
