The Masquerade Ball

It's a poem, One way to look at the way we try to please God by being something we aren't. And how He would prefer it.

The Masquerade Ball


Welcome to the Masquerade Ball
Here is the mask you must wear
No you can't take it off
What fun would that be?
Here at the Masquerade Ball

She goes in and dances
It hurts too much
To be laughing and playing
When the hurt wells up
Here at the Masquerade Ball

She goes outside to sit
The mask doesn't quiet fit
She lifts off her hand
And it falls
There at the Masquerade Ball

The breeze feels so good
It feels fresh and sweet
The heat is gone
As the mask falls to the ground forgotten
There at the Masquerade Ball

Here put this on quick
The Master is coming
He can't see the tears
He wants laughter and sunshine
Here at this Masquerade Ball

She lifts up her mask
To fit it on quick
No one can see her like this
No one to see the sniffles and tears
Here at this Masquerade Ball

He comes over
She lets the mask fall
He comes over
She lets the tears fall
Here at their Masquerade Ball

He takes the mask
He wipes the tears
Why do you hide behind the mask?
Why do you hide the tears?
Here at their Masquerade Ball

I need my mask
I can't show my tears
He wants the mask
He can't want my tears
Here at His Masquerade Ball

I'll take your mask
I'll take your tears
Leave the mask here
Leave it her at the wall
Leave it here at their Masquerade Ball

I'll take your pain
I'll take the fear
I'll take you far
Far away from your mask and
Far from their masquerade ball
