The Masks

The Masks

Hiding
Under a snow white
Mask.
Muffling All
I wish to say,
Hiding All
Emotion.
Nobody
Has noticed
That
To peel our masks off
To reveal
To others,
We must work together.
I look up,
Your thumb
Slides
Under my chin
Under the mask,
Finally
You tear it off,
Gazing
Into my eyes as
It falls to the floor.

The imagery is good, but the spacing of the lines gives reading a choppy feeling.
Longer lines would give the piece a more unified feel; more complete.

This is deep and made me think of how many people would love to be the author of such a great piece of writing.

May i ask how long it took you to write this poem?
