Motto
They've misread my words for years now my dear,
And exchanged my face for a mask.
So I juggle through my roles and lie through my ears
And stage others' stories till dark.
arent we all doing the same, living a lie, we cant say what we feel, when we say what we feel we are bootlegged mercilessly, where is reality and where the real humans, ostentatious breed is on the rise...

You are very deep... this is a powerful piece...
Sad (and lonely) to feel misunderstood and forced to wear a mask.
poems from the stage...or life...this one makes me ponder
Pain and anguish ... well portrayed !!!
It's hard to live a life based on lies but for some people, it's their reality ~
Good one Abin ~
Oh, the mystery and allure of the daily mask!
I love the musings of your verse :D
I love it, Abin. I always enjoy the tales you tell.
Motto of a mask? well said.... :)
So much in such few words.. deep and definitely food for thought! I'll be thinking about this one for a while...
so sad to have to wear a mask
Misreading of one's face and words is so hard. I think we are all forced to wear a mask at times but I hope not too often.
Sometimes the shorter poems are the most intriguing. I would say that is the case with this one!
Assumptions are often wrong, as you deftly remind us.
The slightly off-meter and near rhyme of this made me laugh as form forced content into view. Witty and cool.
'juggle through my roles' I so identify with that. Deeply felt write.
Perhaps it is easier to not make oneself clear.... Intriguing poem.
ah, that was very powerful. the last line went so deep that one could peel away layer after layer and still find depth. very well-written, Abin
