Hide behind the Mask - [BlockchainPoets Weekly Prompt - The Mask]
How many faces do you have?
How many masks do you need?
Why do you hide behind a mask, and not show the real you?
We are all afraid that people can see the real us.
Afraid to be judged, rejected, or criticized.
Don’t hide behind the mask, take it off.
Show the real you,
do not hide behind the technological mask,
your laptop, tablet, or phone.
Don't use the trendy mask,
they constantly change, they just get better,
they are still here.
From MySpace to TikTok,
and everything in between,
you can't hide forever
the mask will fall.
Do you think you are better than me, because of your pretty mask?
I fight my demons with my head high,
Just me, myself, and I.
Take it off,
show who you are,
say those words,
and face the world…

Very beautiful words spoken.
It's just a reminder to us to be true to who we are and what we stand for.❤️
Thanks, @jhymi
I appreciate you can understand the message behind my words.💛
I really like your recognition of the masks people put on when they're anonymous behind a keyboard. It's really sad, when you think about it. Most people use masks in the real world because they're > Afraid to be judged, rejected, or criticized.
You would think that would be the time they could actually be their real selves since nobody knows who they are. The scary thought is what if those people really are that way inside and they're only masking it in the real world. Nice write.
Thanks, @dagger212
It is really sad indeed.
Thanks for acknowledging my words
We should be the real person not hiding behind the mask and thinking we are better off.
What a great poem!
Thank for your words. @amiegeoffrey
people hide behind the mask sometimes because it is the only way they can reveal their strength without compromising their identities like anonymous donors or fictional superheroes while some do it for sinister activities or because they are cowards.
Brilliant piece
Thanks @dante31
There are many reasons why people do it, the problem is when it is to attack and destroy.
I must say the technology of today has invented a mask for all, especially on social media, and I must say it's the most used thing on what we called a "FILTER" on our photo applications or camera applications.
Hello @mell79
It is, and when social media people even use filters to be others.
Literally
Validation! Many put on the trendy mask for validation. They hide their insecurities, going online to seek love which is not advisable!
Hello @deraaa
Yes, that is what I was looking for, thanks for understanding it.
