Beauty Behind the Mask

How do you know what is behind the mask you wear?

By John RedPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

What can you find when you look beyond my mask that I put on every single day

that fake smile the fake happiness you see everyday

what do you really know about a person who puts on the mask to hide their emotions their feelings to hide what they truly feel

I put on a mask to hide my flaws to hide my true self so I feel like a person beyond this mask I feel like a monster I feel like a man with no purpose

the man behind every mask can tell a story and what they feel like a painter drawing a picture but the mask is the painting

the mask is a cover for what the writer actually feels you wake up everyday like the rest

putting on that mask to to hide your true self till it gets on paper till you don’t need the mask anymore to hide your true emotions
