The poem "The Masked One" is a powerful and haunting exploration of identity, deception, and the weight of wearing too many faces. A soul lost in the masks of justice, vengeance, love, and wrath-shifting, adapting, becoming everything yet nothing. In a world that demands roles to be played, does the wearer of masks ever truly exist? Or are they just an echo of expectations, a phantom of borrowed identities?All Rights Reserved

I really hope these poems make you think, and here's a sample I take a look around and I see not faces but places places were faces are hid hid behind the women wear make-up to fulfill desires of their worth and to fulfill mens' distorted and impure lust the men wear masks of flesh to fulfill their rankings and to fulfill womens' false hopes and distorted dreams oh how the world would look without these masks yet this a dream forever unfilled and placed in hopeless utopian minds yet if one by one as we grew we would begin to realize make-up is mistake that we try to make up for with more of it yet if one by one as we grew we would begin to realize masks of flesh is a slash upon our own veins and only digs the hole deeper oh how we perpetuate what we hate most oh how we elevate what we loathe most take off the mask, the unbreakable mask of unbreaking wash off the waterproof make-up, designed to make-up take of the mask, and see the face see a face see your face and see how much you hate it and how much purer, prettier, and how much manlier, magnificent, it is compared to slime you coat your face with compared to lies you smear your face with yet how much better how much safer it is than the safety of the crowd the crowd of the masquerade take it off and take your pride and break it take your hate and burn it hotter and live free-er and with your hate pour it into change change yourself possible this is not to make the genes change but to make the grace change make the grace grow and in it live no matter the strength of the hate

A Diary of Soul (Unedited Version) by ovokive

Know Thyself - Socrates Have you ever felt like a stranger to yourself? Like you're here, but lost? Just another performing mask in a sea of faces? Another wandering being made of dust? • Finding yourself and healing amidst dark moments of life isn't the easiest experience. This journey from unfamiliarity to reconnecting with authentic self expression is what Onarietta documents in her début poetry book, A Diary of Soul. In each entry, she records new discoveries, old pains, hidden fears, joys, and hope that keeps her going, through poems and poetic prose. A Diary of Soul is a companion book for anyone that seeks to learn how to confront and comfort the dark and hurt parts of themselves. It is a guide to finding yourself and creating an identity beyond negative personal expressions and experiences. • Each part (Being, Reawakening, Refining, and Becoming) represents the ever-reoccurring cycles of growth you experience as a person, even as you learn to accept who you are, discover your potential, and grow into more authentic expressions of Self. || Original Description: A collection of poems and poetic prose. This is somewhat of a memoir. I have written these notes and poems to make you feel hope and dread, seen and heard. I have also written them to make you dream, for I shall not dream alone. I don't have nightmares...but I'm rather good at writing them. I also rant once in a while...or maybe that's what this whole book is about. I hope to sift through your head as you walk through mine.

Sometimes it takes a painful situation for us to realize our mistakes and change our ways.

Masks by MyMadWorld

Humans are extremely good at masking their emotions. Not so much controlling them. This is a story about a boy who can smash through the mask of people's emotions and see what they're really feeling. He can control them and make people bend to his will. But there is one person he cannot control. And he'd give anything to change her emotion towards him. *ON HOLD*

The Council of Ten by TheTimelessClock

The masks. The tears. The lies. The fear. Venice, the city floating on water. The city of the masks. Everyone hides their face, their feelings...themselves. Nobody is quite how they appear...or are they? Marco D'Este, a boy of class, walks the streets with his head heald high. Lena Foscari, a girl, a commoner, a dreamer. Paolo Bianchi, a man driven mad by the need for sanity. For safety. Something stirs in the water, the canals. Something that has been drowned for far too long, something big. But what? Things start to go wrong with the people disappearing. The people in cloaks and masks. But in a city of deception - how does one tell who is good...and who is bad?

Dissolved mind by KayoriStrawberry

If you kept a mask on for your whole life...who are you really? If you only act the way people would love you to. When you lost yourself a long time ago. What is left? besides insanity? Why do i have to keep this mask? It's his fault, his! I should've ended this a while ago. Wouldn't there be him and this for god sake calming blue eyes... Like a slowly ripped off bandaid crawls the pain back into Damian's mind. His heart shattered and filled with tears, but his mind screams for revenge. A road that is covered in blood and tears instead of rose petals.
