Under The Mask Poem by Tauhi_d O

under the mask i am a sadist,
i walk in the valley of hatred, malice and wickedness.
under the mask my thoughts are of violence and mayhem,

under the mask, I swear by GOD, i was once an innocent boy.
full of life and happiness.
so carefree he holds no fear.

then came the anger and pain
from separation of loved ones
then came loneliness
and endless sleepless nights

under the mask, I see weakness and foolishness,
I see fears, I see pain, I see tears
cried in vain, to none in question

under the mask i feel weak and have no sense of belonging,
i did wrong things just to fit in
in a worthless and cruel world

under the mask i am nothing but shadow
i follow in darkness, dissappear in light, and immerse myself in guilt.

under the mask i am not an advocate nor a writer,
I am what the world made me.
I am just a Whisper.

the mask tames the Wolf within
from devouring me and all
it protects me from my self
and the world and all is OK
