Undecisive about Her every turn
hidden behind Her plastered cloak:
protection from the outside world
insurance Her heart won't be broke.
She is caught in this endless masquerade
of a girl who cares nothing for affection.
Already in the shadows, her mind starts to fade
Fading into a world without a physical reflection.
Soon lost in this new and darkened place
she longs for someone's loving embrace.
Finding that everyone is behind a closed door
leaving her on cold porches lonely and ignored.
Shunned by all that are found to exist
she is once again turning her back
No one even bothered to give notice
that for a brief time, she took off the mask.
Author notes
This is #3. Here's an explaination: She hides her true self for she is afraid of being hurt. She becomes confused in her emotion and for a second, is open to let other people in, only to find that they don't want to see who she really is. Make sense now? Hmm

ooh!!! I really like this. The last line is perfect
"that for a brief time, she took of the mask"
This poem has a definate tone which isn't always easy to do but you did and I can feel everything in every line. Your rhymes aren't choppy or...I dunno how to explain kind of as if it sounded your were desperate for something. It flowed very well...in fact, I'm gonna read it again. Hold on a sec... okay, back. I also love the phrase "plastered cloak" When I first read that I was automatically interested in what else you had to say. And also the phrase
"Insurance her heart wont be broke(n)*lol*" because it reminded me of how long I spent not dating or letting people befriend me or anything because I figured then there would be no one to break my heart.
Once again the ending just tooootally bedaazzled me (if that's a word) and I'm definately putting this on my favorites! Excuse me while I read more...
