"Mask" by 123

The mask I wear is getting heavy...

It is weary...I carry it everyday as I watch you move.

I see you in the photograph through the eyes of my mask and see no other.

I remove my mask.

For a moment, I can lift my head.  I can stare and take you in. Your beauty makes me speechless.

I hear a noise outside...my mask goes on again.

The mask I wear is getting heavy...

It is weary...

"Days" by Meghan Abell

Dark days have passed into shiny days ahead
That sparkle in the eye of the beholder'

Today I Give Thanks - By Christa


Today I give thanks for the things I have. Thanks for the small things, the large things and the annoying things that show me I am still human.
Today I give thanks for my family. Thanks for those who are with me and those who have passed on and are here in our hearts and souls.
Today I give thanks for my abilities. Thanks for the abilities I know about and those I have yet to discover and the joy of finally finding them.
Today I give thanks for the food on my table. Thanks for the nutrients and the strength it gives.
Today I give thanks for the days I have lived. Thanks for today, yesterday and the wishful tomorrows of my future.
Today I give thanks to the Lord above. Thanks for providing for me and carrying me when I felt I couldn’t go on anymore.
Today I give thanks for the roof over my head. Thanks for protecting me from the wind and cold and the knowledge I have somewhere to go.
Today I give thanks for the things I have.

A Poem- By No One....

I am a simple soul...
If I like you, I will give you my time. If not, I think you are fake and not worthy of engaging.
I am black and white...
If you say you will do something, I expect you to do it.
I am bruised...
I am not mortally wounded. I will recover, but I need you to show me it is time to heal.
I am a wall...
If you try to break it down, without permission, you will fail.
I am a lover...
I am your fantasy, but outward appearances are mirages of treasure.
I am a loser...
I have lost faith in man, in government and in life. I have yet to lose faith in God.
I am a simple soul...
I am rich and don’t want the money. I am popular and weed out the true ones. I am human and I have compassion. I am strong and long to cry. I am dark and search for light. I am love and need peace. I only let my soul be heard when I drink.  I am you.

"The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be."

I ask you...who are you deciding to be today?
