The Mask

By Mike Hall, October 13, 2015

I wish that I knew the real you

that lives behind the mask

All the little quirks and pains that

have made you what you are

Would that you could feel safe enough

to let down your guard

and come to know yourself…..

to believe in your inherent goodness

and appreciate your worth

I would wish for the sun to appear

and melt the mask that hides you from yourself

I’d wish for the rain to fall

And wash away your past….

sending it, like a river, to the sea

Perhaps then you could see yourself

as you really are…..

Luminous and thunderstruck by your power….

In love with the dream that animates your spirit

and makes you so special to the world.
