What Mask Do You Wear

The different masks we wear.

Mother, father, sister, brother,

husband, wife, lover, friend.

We are many things to many people

but the mask of importance

resides in ourselves.

Who we are; what we are.

We either hide in shadows,

or shout to the world.

“Don’t look at me!’

“Look at me, I am right here!”

Or are we just a masquerade party of one.

After all, Halloween comes once a year.

Life stays with us until our last breath.
