#masquerading

I count my blessings
By learning my lessons
The mask I wear is one 
So I don't need to please no one

We try to stand tall
But we get into a great fall
Why,you ask?
It's because our faces are full with different  masks

Man is animal to man
Stand to fall,raise to descend
That he doesn't wish to extend hands
So he hangs his conscience,and that doesn't make sense

Masquerading around the place,to get attention
If you seek direction,you definitely get
 to your destination

Following the heart most times,it might fail us
Because even the best metals,do get rust
That we act tough,even in a simple situation
Making a fool of ourselves displaying such demonstration

What kind of mask do you wear?
Yours or mine?
You are beautiful,no matter what they say
Been a masquerade,most times,it brings the you in you down

So we seek solace in a place where there are no hope
Because,we glitter, and we are not gold
So we dig out own hole,to be buried in
When we seek to act in a world that
 isn't ours

So doing so,we are doomed for life
If only the heavens or hell wasn't a word used to subject us
From achieving a lot in life
That we let our naive mindset in most cases fail us.

So I ask?
What mask do you wear?

I posted these poems in the order I wrote them, thus the first, nor the last is the best. I really hope these poems make you think, and here's a sample I take a look around and I see not faces but places places were faces are hid hid behind the women wear make-up to fulfill desires of their worth and to fulfill mens' distorted and impure lust the men wear masks of flesh to fulfill their rankings and to fulfill womens' false hopes and distorted dreams oh how the world would look without these masks yet this a dream forever unfilled and placed in hopeless utopian minds yet if one by one as we grew we would begin to realize make-up is mistake that we try to make up for with more of it yet if one by one as we grew we would begin to realize masks of flesh is a slash upon our own veins and only digs the hole deeper oh how we perpetuate what we hate most oh how we elevate what we loathe most take off the mask, the unbreakable mask of unbreaking wash off the waterproof make-up, designed to make-up take of the mask, and see the face see a face see your face and see how much you hate it and how much purer, prettier, and how much manlier, magnificent, it is compared to slime you coat your face with compared to lies you smear your face with yet how much better how much safer it is than the safety of the crowd the crowd of the masquerade take it off and take your pride and break it take your hate and burn it hotter and live free-er and with your hate pour it into change change yourself possible this is not to make the genes change but to make the grace change make the grace grow and in it live no matter the strength of the hate

* * * "...Why are you following me?" I only muttered in case no one was really there. I didn't want any surrounding people to think I was crazy and just imagining someone behind me. "I didn't even get a thank you." To my surprise, there was a response. Slightly horrified, I spun around to look my rescuer in the eyes. Scratch that. In the mask. He was wearing a mask. * * * Saved from a rapist by a pirate. At first, Vivienne sees pirates as scums. She believes all of them are full of greed. Well, Vivienne isn't completely wrong. But when she accidentally boards a pirate ship belonging to the Masquerade Messes, her entire life takes a turn. Perhaps for the better, perhaps for the worse... either way, Vivienne occupies her time by trying to identify her rescuer. He's a part of the crew, but the only time he appears is during the masquerade parties. She tries to figure out who he is, but she struggles badly. He's just always masked. * * * //completed as of 12/15/16//
