Image( A Poem I wrote in 1998)

I'm a collage of different people's expectations

My outward masks are only a facade

The core of me is hidden deep inside away from scrutiny

Maintaining their image is all that matters

Without the masks, rejection becomes my cruel companion

Who am I really? What will I become?

These questions and many others are perplexing

From within my soul's caverners is heard an anguished cry

My core, the real me, desires to be set free

The masks must be smashed so I can be birthed

Out of the rubble a new life emerges

Waiting by the wayside my guide sits

He will lead me on life's perilous journey

I am finally free, the masks are no more

Acceptance flows over me in liquid waves

Yes you're right Amanda that's what it was about. When I first meet people I'm shy and don't always open up much. I kind of hide myself until I feel safe then the "mask" comes off and I'm able to open up. It's so freeing to be yourself around other people. If I can find more poems, I'll share them.
