    Stripped

    I am a lady who wears a disguise.
    This whore who protects me is beginning to fail.
    Realizing the error of my ways, the mask is lost.
    Beneath this costume, lies a truth.
    Halloween is over, I feel naked.

    So this whole thing is about halloween? Or is it just being used as a symbol for your pain? Interesting.

    Very good. I also like the last line, particularly after the first.

    Very nice indeed - brevity with absolutely nothing lost. Well done, keep it up.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
