oh, oh!! I know!!

We wear the mask!! ( almost know it by heart!!)
We wear that mask that grins and lies,
it hides our cheeks and shades our eye,
This debt we pay to human guile;
with torn and bleeding hearts we smile, (and thats as far as i know)
And mouth with myriad subleties.

Why should the world be otherwise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.

We smile but, oh great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!!!
Amy Lowell!!
It was one of my favorite poems! i had it in my anthology in 7th grade! Isn't it a great poem?!?I had it posted in my room fora while then i tore it down and put it in my tracker where it wouldnt get lost. I have a book that has this poem in it right beside my bed too! it's quite pathetic! I can say I love poetry! ok I gotta get ready for school..love ya laff!! Btw I can't make another mask unless i have the stuff to do it but I can easily get it at the craft store! XOXOXO that internet better come back soon!
