I stand in a crowd of masked faces
Family, friends, neighbors
Yet even so they are strangers to me
The masks are smiling cheerful smiles
Yet as I remove them, I see different
My father frowns upon his wrongs; touch beyond love
My mother frowns upon her upbringing; children that sin
My neighbor frowns upon his loss; a life not yet ready to pass
Why, why are you hiding these faces
Why are you hiding your truth
Behind masks of illusion, deception
Why are you deceiving me
Why pretend you are when you are not
Please, do not deceive me any longer
As you deceive me, you deceive yourself
If you must wear a mask wear one that reflects
Yes, a mirror mask.
As you wear this mask
Reflect who you really are.
Only then will I see you
For who you claim to be

I agree with the person down there, a mirror reflects and shows yourself, and what emotions that are sprawled all over your face. So, technically, it would be your happiness, or sadness, or hatred showing on their face, instead of who they truly are. Other then that small mistake that was a moving poem and I enjoyed it quite nicely, Thank You.

I LOVE IT :^D but if the mask was a mirror mask doesn't that mean the person looking at this masked person only see themselves in the end? Their reflection glaring off the mirror? It seems like the mirror of truth :^D
