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.
