Behind the mask...
is innocents lost,
pale and grim
broken, and weathered,
emptiness, and little hope.
Behind the mask...
is pain, and sorrow,
despair, and regret.
sadness, and loneliness
depression grips.
Behind the mask...
the mind cracks,
madness creeps,
insanity takes over,
a single tear falls.

I love this write. you have bagged the very essence of all us mad people in the world. Seriously, this reminds me of "Freak On A Leash", though the words are different, the meaning is the same. I got some really down trodden visions in my head from this, one being locked away in my own madness. Great Job1

The title brings images into my thoughtss as i searssh my memories of hwat i am looking for behind the masks of life.....I do like the use of repetition it works well. Your words full of descriptive imagery portray the picture you paint for the reader to follow...laying down the thoughts to ponder over later or linger i the mind. you hold my attention to the ending of that one tear behind the mas...ad yet beautiful Thank you for the pleasure...good luc in the contest
