As the light fades, darkness falls.

As the mask is donned, humanity is lost.

The face under the mask, is it the true one?

Is it truely worth fitting in if you lose yourself in the process?

The friends, hobbies, and even your mind could be lost without knowing it.

The right thing... does it mean doing the wrong thing? 

Does it make people happy? Is it really the right thing?

Your friends, what kind of people are they?

Do they deserve your trust?

Do they truly make YOU happy?

Do they consider you THEIR friend?

What makes your life worth living?

Does it make you happy, or your friends happy?

No, truly think about it.

Think about the kind of person you are. Is it the same person?

The mask you wear to fit in... does it ever come off, or is it beyond repair?

Can your inner self be recovered, or are they lost to the darkness never to return?

If not careful, you could be lost to the inner darkness.

To live without purpose... is it a life worth living?

Does your life revolve around THE MASK? Think about it...


The author's comments:

I was just writing in my english journal, when i started thinking about who I am now. I shook it off, then it returned with who my friends might truly be. I started writing it down and my mom said that it was good poetry. I hope you honestly take time to read it, contemplate on it, then comment on what you found out about my work.

I`m so glad to hear that. I made this poem to help people who could not do what you did.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

My life used to. Now i do what makes me happy and no one else runs my life. its so freeing
