So true. People want to hide their real self, 'cuz the world is all evil and will attack all weaklings! Bwahahaha! Kidding. Anyway, great poem. ^_^
P.S If you have time, can you read my story? (puppy-dog eyes)

very good. strangely enough, i wrote one with a similar meaning

I agree with that. Great job.

so true. you're great at writing short poems and having them impact so many people. countless people can relate to this. so can i.

And how many of us wear such masks? Hundreds of thousands...millions. And why do we do so? One simple reason...fear. I like the poem a lot. It throws out a powerful emotion in just a few lines, making you look at yourself and your own mask. Well done. When I get more time, I'll try to take a look at your other stuff.
