Okay, had a decent time making this one. It was not too hard, but not too easy.
My Mask – A Poem By Noah Dasari
I try to hide my emotion,
I try to act like I don't care,
I put on a bored, uncaring mask,
So nobody can see the emotion that I bear.
But this mask slips here and there,
And no one notices but you,
You notice because you care,
And you can see right through my mask.
My mask irritates people greatly,
But my mask has a better purpose,
My mask hides my feelings for you,
My mask hides what I truly want.
My mask hides that I want to help you,
Every time that I see you get hurt,
My mask hides that I want you to like me, too,
My mask hides that I want you for myself.
If you can see through my mask,
How come you can't see the most important part?
The part that wants to tell you the truth,
The part that wants to be more than friends.
So, maybe one day,
I'll decide to leave the safety of my mask,
So I can let everyone see who I truly am,
And tell you how I truly feel.
I'm the kind of person who is really harsh on myself and I don't think I'm a good poet. Hence, I don't think these poems are very good. You can tell me otherwise, but it's still a problem of mine. So, sorry if this sucked…
