WhatWhyHow???

This year, I set myself the foolish task of trying to write something every day, and what you see here is the result. None of this is finished, polished, or in any way good. It's usually a few lines at the end of the day when I'm tired, my head's broken, and this nonsense spills out of it onto the page. Feel free to comment away, and if you think anything has any potential then let me know and I might have a go at working on it further.

But hang on, where's the first month? You've ripped us off! I hear you say... Well, yes. I have been writing since the beginning of January, but it's taken me a while to get the blog up, so everything here is a month old.

Masks

Sorry - missed yesterday, so two posts today...

Beware of those who choose to wear
A gilded mask beneath their hair
A golden veil, a curate's egg
The painted features on the edge
of faces, noses, eyes and ears
A hiding place from private fears.
But who can say? Who can really understand
The reasons why they still demand
To see themselves in mirrored walls
To shed a tear upon their pall
To twist and scream and claw their eyes
To tear the mask that they despise,
To stand again with naked skin
And show the world what lies within.
