I am the Mask I wear

A good friend "passed over the bar" recently, my muse has taken something of a holiday but left me with this thought to deal with. I will get back on track but right now this small doggerel is the best I can offer.

I am the Mask I wear

I am Teacher,
I am Guide,
I am Wanderer,
I am Healer,
I am Seeker,
I am Carer,
I am Solitaire,
I am Man,
I am Woman…

But I dare not lift the mask for fear of finding out who I am…
Am I the Mask or is there nothing beneath…

Who am I?

A good question.

Who am I?
A good question.
A worthy question.
Yet one that some find hard to answer.
I wonder if I will ever find mine.
I hope you find yours.
Maybe just the asking can be enough.

For some of us the question haunts...

From Les Misérables, Jean sings "Who am I? Am I the man I'm meant to be?" And from Phantom of the Opera "I am the mask you wear, it's me they hear". - my two fav shows, yet I choke, hearing tose two lines and their secret meanings. Or should that be the meanings for the secret me?

A 'doggerel' eh? It is thought-provoking and touching. Thanks,
Kiwi.
