The power of a mask... Poem, by misskay, at My poetic side

You took on a form

To gain abilities

To cope with the world

You recreated yourself

To take control of your mental health

You depended upon that mask

And used its power for

every painful or scary task

But you depended on it so much

You became the mask

The more you used it

The darker your heart became

You weren’t you anymore

Your good heart had changed

Is it too late

Will you remain the same

Don’t let darkness become your fate

Sometimes it’s good to feel some pain

It teaches you to grow

To learn strength and Empathy

So let the emotions just flow

Don’t hide behind that mask

You need to let it go

Or the wisdom and lessons from pain

You will never get to know

It is all good to want the courage of a lion, but do you want the arrogance and pride with you at all times as well?

Adapting yourself for life coping methods

Will only bring you hell
