Mask
I wear this figurative mask
Every day of my life
It paints a picture of happiness
Instead of anxiety, stress n dislike
It shades me from the world
And shades the world from me
Wearing the mask protects myself
From all the disappointment that roams free
That mask allows for freedom
And I can be whomever I want to be
Hiding behind the mask I can be anybody
Its powerful nature is inexplicable
It holds such a forceful being
It saves me from reality
And hides my true feelings
The mask is a place holder
For all I feel inside my heart
It protects me from the truth
And all the judgment that tears me apart
