Waltz wave poem

Mask

What
mask do
you
wear to
cover your
fear or
truth?
Is it
Strength? Beauty?
Faith? Harmony?
How often
do you
keep
it on?
Remove it!
Can't you
just
fake a
smile?

Love the theme, I wrote one about masks also, it reminds me of that. Well done.

Love the images supporting the theme in here. We even cover ourselves with perfume to disguise our personal scent. The genuine is the scarcity in this world, it seems.

very well written. Being pretentious and a performer all the time is bitter and it is never sweet!
