Review and accolade for my poem,  Love’s Masks

Thank you for inspiring me to continue to voice my thoughts in writing that appears to be pleasing.

Love’s Masks

Share your inner thoughts, ideas, ideals,
That power your imagination and hails
Down upon you, admiration, envy that entails
You have to choose who needs some derails.

Today, we hide behind our likes,
Our social media personae that drives
Our self-esteem into the grounds
If it’s not up to par with our peers.

Why do we hide?
Is intimacy such a bad ride,
That you need masks to keep all inside?

Or do you soar in flight
Fall, shatter, break, and give only a bite
Out of the ball, then turn it into a free for all?

Love’s power only grows
As love is exchanged and plows
Dissent into an abyss of darkness

Where it’s devoured by happiness
Of love shared and empowers hopefulness
In a world that dictates the reign of the Ego.

Certificate Award for my poem, Selfie

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Selfie

Setting up the selfie station:
Lights, cell stand, and her brand,
Typically,  she holds clothing  to unfold
Before it’s framed eternally on her blog.

She twists it this way and that,
Showing all its sides, but
None of hers,
Except, the image she shows.

Behind the smile and frivolity,
Lies a darkness, hidden from sight,
For fear of being judged carelessly
By followers that hold great might.

Anxiety is hers to cradle,
While happiness is to be shared,
And beauty is revered
As long as it’s easily bendable.

What is she trying to prove,
With her blog that’s on the move?
Is her ambition centered around
Follows and likes,  without being bound?

I wonder what holds her prisoner,
In a world where artifice is power,
While, ethics and values take a shower,
And faith is flushed out with dirty water.
