Please hear what I'm saying response

What I think about this poem is it has a meaning a strong meaning. Reading it in class was good because it gave a point a point about people who sometimes it's a mask of pretend and your being fooled. Like this line from the poem, " Don't be fooled by the face that I wear, for I wear a mask, I wear a thousand masks." Meaning that there's so much pretend. I sorta relate to this poem, because there's a part of me I don't show to my friends so I pretend at times. My favorite pargraph that I thought related to me a bit that I liked a lot was, "But I don't tell you this. I don't dare. I'm afraid to. I'm afraid your glance will not be followed by acceptance and love. I'm afraid you'll think less of me, that you'll laugh, and your laugh would kill me. I'm afraid that deep down nothing, that I'm just no good, and that you will see this and reject me.
This poem gives meaning and is very strong there's so many people that wear masks and can be fooled at times. Are you afraid or don't know what to do to see what's behind the mask.
What i do have to say I really enjoyed reading this poem because it gave a point and meaning.
