The Mask - Poem by Lily Law

Autoplay next video

I felt my face weighed
by a filigree white mask
with a embroidered smile
that show
no sorrow
no anger
no hatred
no envy
no resentment
no fear
but just a pure happiness
I could feel
as time ticked away
the mask became as one with the soul
as breath stolen silently
the mask began to poison the mind
as light faded slowly
the mask started to conquer the heart
and I knew
at the end of the period
no trace could be found
nothing was left behind
but only the white mask
continue to roam this realm
spreading its supremacy

What you fear is not baseless Lily. We become what we pretend to be.We become the mask at the end and this is surprisingly true.Deep thought expressed here.Keep it up.

Dear Lily, though you are a very young poet, and a 10 would be too much for you, I give it to you for the many beauties of the poem.It's the play of the life (albeit you have not enough experiences) . Go on with new fresh ideas. Work for high verses!
