What awful truths you cannot tell?
Some fearful secret you can't bear?
What lies beneath the mask you wear?
A pact made in the Devil's lair
You seem a phantom sent from Hell
What lies beneath the mask you wear!
What awful truths you cannot tell!

You nailed this one ...
What lies there--nobody will ever know! I have danced with the devil, then she stepped on my feet
Since we got on here at same time I HAD to say "Hello"
Love it...best line:
What lies beneath the mask you wear!
Great to see you at D'verse!
yep lots of scary people behind those masks...

What if they are fun truths I cannot tell, can my mask stay on?..haha
Well played, love the rhyme pacing and at one point or another everyone puts on a mask in certain situations, some with deeper secrets than others as you say.
I have thought these thoughts with pain and disappointment in my day. You say it so well, and with strength.

Some never take their mask off....living a lie is not living at all !
Oooh, a good one. Makes me want to know more!
Loved this Triolet, a format that is quickly becoming one of my favorites! Perfect words to go with this photo.
those masks try to hide our secrets, but the eyes give it away
Ohhh I liked the repetition of those two lines in much different contexts! Nice! So great to see you at d'Verse! :-D
We all have secrets, don't we? Interesting pic to go with your thought-provoking piece.
I don't know where Tess Kincaid finds these images, but they are always unique--this mask looks to me like it has two faces,one top, one bottom and your poem seems to illustrate a similar point--that there's no end to the masks, or knowing what's beneath them.
Very dark intriguing poem. :)
Love it. Especially how you've rhymed it. :)
All of my faces wear a mask
And beneath each mask, another
The layers interwoven and interleaved
Each hiding one mask from each other!
And a very natty little poem it is, too! ♥
Well structured poem.
so many people hide their true selves.. so much energy wasted.
well done!
gosh would i love to send this poem to
a certain someone.
A good read
