We Wear the Mask
We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,-
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.
Paul Laurence Dunbar
I received many messages from friends, colleges, acquaintances and strangers who felt that yesterdays's image and words were directed to them or echoed in themselves. I wanted to push it further, today I was without the lovely Isabelle, so the SP was so much harder. I struggle with an SP, I feel vulnerable and breakable. But I guess that is kind of the point. Thank you for the stars, comments and hearts. The others are here
