Introduction To My Writing

To demonstrate my writing I have a small free verse poem to post here. It is called Masks.

Life is an masquerade, everyone is wearing a mask to hide who they really are. Some make false friends with masks of smiles only to stab them in the back, some keep changing their mask day after day after day to try to belong, others wear the mask to hide from themselves and run from events long ago. Everyone wears their own mask made out of their own lies, hatred, and sins. But as people wear their mask they forget who they really are, slowly they become obsessed and so attached to their mask it becomes a part of them. The mask becomes them entirely, devouring the person hidden under the mask, destroying their old life and making a life of perfect bliss. A life built on lies and masks. Life is like a masquerade for lost souls, all searching for their purpose but so scared someone may disapprove  they hide in plain sight behind their own self made mask.

My writing takes on many styles, some more serious like this and others more light and funny like I may post later. But all of my writing has purpose and meaning. Some pieces are only meant to make you laugh, some are to help people see what they cannot, and others may just be how I, or even someone else, feels. Writing is a huge part of my life and a core piece of who I am. The best way to get to know me is not by how I act but what I have to say.
