Then should we be called to task
Who could not remove the mask
That let our feelings slide by
Unspoken truth hides the lie
That nobody bothered to ask

The dark notes that we chose to hide
Envy,anger, angst and pride.
The pains and thoughts that come unbidden
And the sorrows that we keep hidden
Behind the walls that we build inside

With luck there is someone who may
Know how to peel the layers away
And a sword of gained trust cuts through
The binding of the mask; and new
Found and open, we face the day

Beautiful, Bardi. the meaning, the prayer in there...

and the rhythms... the lines ... perfect.

I had to read this a few times before I commented. It sounded more personal than some of your other poems. I think more people feel like this than don't; you captured the feeling of needing someone just right. I agree with Blue, there is a certain rhythm of a prayer in there. I like it very much.
