A version of me
A happy, silly girl I allow you to see
That's just another version of me
The mask that I wear hides the darkness, the sadness
It helps me to deal with all the world's madness
We all wear a mask at some point you know
It suppresses our feelings we don't to show
It's easier to swim in the shallows of the sea
Than drown in the oceans of anxiety
I hope my mask falls, I will finally be free
And be the version of me I want you to see.
About this poem
This poem symbolises the metaphorical mask we wear from time to time. To hide our real emotions, our struggles, to suffer in silence.
