The faces I wear around others
The happy, energetic, confident; even
The quiet, thoughtful, calm
The outside effects the inside
Sometimes I need to feel the inside
Sometimes mask removal seems impossible
Sometimes a hug, touch, words help
Sometimes I want to let out all that’s inside
[ poetry inspired by this photo from Kylie Parks ]
.
Be sad
Be happy
Be however you feel
Forget the masks that you are compelled to wear
Be who you are at the moment
Honest and open
Let others ask
Let them know and really respond
Let us all be a little more honest
With ourselves
and each other
