In Creative Corner, poetry

Some may be
masked as bright.

some worn,
are wild.

some are
tagged ‘tight.’

& some presented,
are mild.

yet, behind these faces,
there are real untold stories.

    Indeed, behind every face, there are real untold stories.

    Many have mastered the language of masking their troubles and it’s one of the reasons our world is the way it is.
