I peel off the mask I wear today,
for it is just a shadow of my soul.
I discard it for yet another day,
while I decide which path to go.
The faces I wear, too many,
until my time to choose.
Molded from uncertainty,
to yet be etched in stone.
The long road well travelled,
has yet more paths to bare.
Fingers cascading forward,
to a destination unclear.
I must wait to see the answer,
to see the outcome of my past.
When all things come together,
I will wear no mask.

I loved this, it really touched me. It really seemed to get better as it went on.
My favourite verse was verse four. I really felt touched and it was a good end to it.

this touched me. Each stanza seemed to get better as the poem went along, and the ending stanza was just perfect. Thank you for your time and your talent.
Love, Lane
