I once had an account here, waaay back before they asked for emails. As I can no longer remember what I had as a password, I am now creating a new account. I do indeed love the sci-fi/fantasy world, but do not have over much to contribute to it. However, I love to socialize with others who share my taste.





  Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906)

       We Wear the Mask

  WE wear the mask that grins and lies,
  It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
  This debt we pay to human guile;
  With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
  And mouth with myriad subtleties.

  Why should the world be over-wise,
  In counting all our tears and sighs?
  Nay, let them only see us, while
      We wear the mask.

  We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
  To thee from tortured souls arise.
  We sing, but oh the clay is vile
  Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
  But let the world dream otherwise,
      We wear the mask!

She is no longer who she once was however, for as time passes, it changes all whom it touches.
