Narrative_Impressionist_WeWearTheMask

This was inspired by the poem.. I really can't eloquently put into words how I feel, so I will hide behind someone else's ;-) Hope you enjoy

Anyway the poem! By Paul Laurence Dunbar called "We Wear The Mask"

We wear the mask that grins and lies,

It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—

This debt we pay to human guile;

With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,

And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be over-wise,

In counting all our tears and sighs?

Nay, let them only see us, while

We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O 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!
