I dont know why ///
yet,
it is so true,
I am always afraid
of going out alone,
just like you, I ///
try //
to hide myself away,
even though
I know
I look like any
carefree human.
So I hide
behind a mask
and with pride
I wear it out
Noone knows me,
nobody sees in-
side ///
theres something
nonone wants to /
see //
and if they do /
just deny me. ///

This is very moving.People hide aspects of their personality so often but to me it never really seems to be mentioned,this is honest a little bit sad but a good read.

Years ago we could walk out our door, feel comfortable
about who we are, but it's so sad now that for some
people, do have to put on a mask, to be careful that
people don't see our failings or our individual ways.
When you are at home, you feel comfortable about being
yourself.
I think it's something to do with the Big Brother
theory. You don't know who is watching you on camara,
or if someone has got your picture on their camara.
I remember a time when you could say what you wanted,
but not anymore. Everyone is afraid, that's half the
problem. Well that's my opinion anyway.
I have probably started something here, oh well.
Anyway I had to much to say on this, but agree it's
a moving poem.
Jenny.
