  2004 Rhubarb Cult Poetry Contest Winner False Reflection By Heide Hoffarth Why do I conceal, why do I hide? All these feelings I'm feeling inside. Why do I feel so much pain? All the blood rushes through my veins. Why do I feel like I'm hurting another? All I am is a mask with a cover. Why cover something I can't even see? All because I don't want you to see the real me. Why do I feel like I'm wearing a mask? All of my feelings I no longer grasp. Why does all of this run through my mind? All the answers; too hard to find. Why try to look when I can't even see? All I see is a reflection of me. The writer is a student at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa.
