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
