Oblivious Mask Poem by Sheldon Allen Saluta
Oblivious Mask
Everyone has its own variety of personalities
Different in every events and possibilities
Others may show who they really are
Others may hide who they really are
Others may show who they really are? Yes, for such a purpose
Of coping stereotypes and of highly self-expose
To gain respect, shun solitary
Coz everything was temporary
Others may hide who they really are? For explicit purpose
Of avoiding human catastrophe, just for impose
To tranquilize from trend disturbance
No pressure just for self-maintenance
That were the different persona that people have just wore
In everyday works and events, nothing less, nothing more
One of those is you are now living
Which of the two masks you'd been wearing?
yes at times we may knowingly or unknowingly become unaware of our own self so much so that that we don't realize what we are... critical examination of human behavior through a poem ...great writing! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Oblivious Mask poetically is on the mark good work here...everyone puts on a mask like bank manager puts his face on, the policeman the baker the candlestick maker and the boxer who growls too! thanks for the invite regards
good work sheldon. you brought out beautifully the human weakness of guising one's own true self. i liked it.
nice work, i'd like to call it art, everyone has a mask that hides their inner self, well brought out sheldon
A Brilliantly written piece about oblivious mask one has to wear or is socialized to do so throughout life. Another poem of the truth of human's nature.
You have just open the barriers of mask...it's a reality that all, have something to hide... this sudden hope of reality rebuke the secret of life mystery.....pain but joyful in the end.... I like your poem....it’s 'a hidden death of the soul'...Excellent...God bless a 10 +++++

Allen, I think you are a great promise, your thinking process is deep and revealing, do you know that everyone's mask is used for self expression? Yes, that is not an irony, deep inside the consciousness of everyone, is the desire for self expression and even the mask is expressive enough, sometimes, one needs companions, sometimes one needs solitariness and sometimes one needs to pour out the bottled up emotions in a literary piece. Yours tends towards masterpiece. Keep it up!

great! wonderful observation of human psychology! my masks started on purpose, I hid who I was from everyone including my family, but then...I got so caught up in the masks I forgot who I was behind the masks. It's been between two and four years since I lost myself, and I'm only just now finding myself again. Take note, everyone, and don't make the same mistakes I did!
