The Mask I Possess Poem by Pooja Shanbhag
The Mask I Possess
Those memories still haunt me
I can't sleep at night;
I don't know what to do
I don't know whom to fight.
I wish someone would understand me
I wish they could hear my silent screams,
I wish they could feel the way i feel
I wish they could see those scary dreams.
Behind my laughs are a thousand sorrows,
Behind my smile is a breaking heart;
I don't know where this is leading to
I don't know why, I'm falling apart.
Even though I know it very well, that
I can't take anymore of it now,
I keep on bearing it, on and on
I don't know why, I don't know how.
I don't know why this is the way it's meant to be-
What's happened to you? Why can't you see?
It's just an illusion, It's just my mask,
The person i pretend to be Isn't actually me...
An arresting poem.... that interestingly expresses pain merged with poetry....n d inevitable mask tht clouds everyone!
