Mask Is Down Poem by Alison Smith
Mask Is Down
She sits at her computer
And opens the window.
She has entered another world
A place where she can be free.
She chats with people as an equal
She can choose whom she meets
She can invent a life
Or at last talk about the real person that is her.
She has spent her life behind a mask
Scared to show who she really is
But at her computer she can take down her mask
She can present what she really wants people to see.
No one sees what she is really like
No one sees the scars
She is accepted for what she portrays.
As that’s all they can see.
She can express her loves and desires
She can laugh and be free
She can still be alone
And turn off her world at will.
Yes... perfectly put. Lots of people with such an approach here; the internet is a liberating invention, though it uses a lot of fuel.
this is a groovy traddy poem and it is real sick in the young ones language tiny Tim

Hi Alison. I found your poem to be refreshing and revealing. Many of us have masks that we wear, either by choice or necessity. I myself have found that I am recognized as a caregiver a friend. Very few people seem to realize the person I am within. Being able to share poetry with others has been rewarding. This website has opened a new level of understanding and appreciation.
