Many Masks (Poem)
February 09, 2006, 9:04 a.m.

2nd Entry today

Many Masks

Mask of sadness
Surrounding my battered soul
Hurt, longing and pain
Taking all my control

Mask of helplessness
Threatening to take me today
Closing within myself
Praying for another way

Mask of regret
Streaming tears down my face
Knowing in my heart
I have fallen from his grace

Mask of naked fear
Dangling over my head
Squeezing the life out of me
Madness needing to be fed

Mask of unknown
Pulling at my outstretched hand
Pushing me into the darkness
of my hellish nightmare land.

Mask of hope
Shining the moon’s faint burning light
Telling me ever so gently
I’ll get through another night.
