The Ransom of the Mask

I don't remember what I miss Or if I left it where it is I wasn't going anywhere And I sure did get there fast No matter where I run I can't outrun the past But I've walked away from running With nowhere left to go Price check on isle 6 please Was there a mark down on my soul Never noticed no one noticed The mask covering my fears Carving lines upon my face As time outran my tears Emotions frozen into place The mask demands a ransom Payable in years

I've had that mask and I've tried to outrun my past. Time yields to no man and life takes what it may as we wander through it. Great poem my friend, described my life quite well! A7
