The Mask (Free verse) by TLRufener

You looked in the mirror and did not like what you saw In a fit of rage you tore the mirror from the wall In a desperate attempt to hide your horrid face You fashioned an all-purpose mask to cancel your disgrace You ran from the truth thinking no one would see In all truth you are still the same person to me I saw the face that you wanted to hide I know the true person you are inside No matter what you look like or what you do There will never be a change in how I treat you With all of you effort to change what they see Who you are inside is all that ever means anything to me

Did you notice every line in your poem is written as a seperate sentence. Caps at the beginning. MS Word?

You need to get personal. Say things that are unique to your situation or perspective. We have no idea who the hell you're talking to. A lover? A friend? A man? A woman? Michael Jackson? Who?
Don't try to write a poem for everyone. If you do it will always turn out the same way. Hokey.
