Masks

Oh the many masks in my cupboard!!!
One for each occasion as to hide best my soul.
Now, lets not  break the mould....
I did carefully design the best to fool
The one with the smile seems to fit so well
Quite the handy tool
I wear it fondly least on monsters I too long will dwell.

Some are quite hidden in the back,
but still handy to keep in stock
The mostly worn has a prominent place
It well does hide the scared face
when slapped a few cruel packs.

This one seems to fit so tight
Part of me; can never break free
Its the road less travelled
but those who have dared share this fight
will know inside... its only me..

I once was foolish, tried to crack the code
found the illusion harsher than the mask
so I gathered the glue of my tears
and carefully together did I paste
Come on now, nothing to fear

The one hated the most  remains
the one with all the stains
the design not of my own making
others found joy in its moulding...

Oh the many masks in my cupboard!
