Behind The Mask Poem by Audrey Heller

It's been a very hard and tumultuous year,
that we can't wait, for a new year to begin.
For so many of us, had the most difficult
time and had, to take it on the chin! Many
of us struggled, just to keep afloat and are
trying to hold on. But like many, a lot of things
we had, are gone! It takes years to buld a
foundation and a short time, to see it,
disappear. Can you imagine, having to start
all over again? I say this, with a lot of fear.
When you're young, you have a lot of time
ahead of you and the challenges, seem so
small! After all, you have youth, you can
conquer, it all! When you're on in years,
everything new you have to do, seems
like such a task! But I presume no matter
how you access it, you have to try your
best to rebuild, for you can't live, behind
a mask!
