Don’t hide behind your mask
Be brave let your feelings fly free
Let the world see you for what you are
Not what you think the world wants to see
Beauty lies within you, deep inside
Not what is plastered upon your face
Wisdom comes with years
Be proud of those years
Sketched indelibly upon your face
You are unique, a miracle of your existence
Not an homogeneous clone
Be proud of who you are
Hug life and you will not be alone.

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem is aimed at all the young people who try to copy the look of so called celebrities. It is a shame that they cannot be who they really are, and be an individual rather than a clone.

A fine write RB. Yes, ugh, who wants to be like 'celebs'?!
Oh I am forever working the dishevelled look!
Yet I wear a mask of a different kind.
The one I hide my fears behind.
Got this crazy talking in rhyme thing going on.
Thanks for sharing. The youth today are under a lot of pressure. I'm glad social media was after my youth.
We all wear masks to some extent depending on what situation we find ourselves.
