POEM STARTER

Write a poem that includes the motif of masks.

A motif is a repeated but varying detail which highlights the poems theme, similar to a symbol.

The Mask We Wear

I’ve worn my mask for so long,

I have forgotten what lies underneath.

Whatever it is, though, can rot like the rest of me, for this mask is all I care to see.

Hello! I’m a teen who loves eldritch horror, apocalyptic fantasy’s, and thrillers. Nietzsche said no artist tolerates reality, and I believe all writers can resonate with that. I appreciate feedback!
