Take your Mask off
Be your Authentic Self by Mariann Carroll
Who Are You, Do you Know?
What is within, do you let it Show?
I know Who I am ?
I am the best authentic me,
You will ever know.
I am kind
I don’t like it when ,I have to be mean .
I cannot take abused so I have to say
A Loud No !!!
I love having fun and enjoying life.
Why do you have to be a party pooper
and destroy my life dream by hiding
behind every scene, I try to create.
I love volunteering.
You put a stop to that
By trying to amplify my fear of you.
For now on,
I will not give that power
Over me ….
This Mask is no longer needed
It does not shield me from the power
You think you had over me.
I am me and I will
Take back the true me.
I don’t need to be mean , when you
Are lurking around me.
I will just ignore you
Like a bee.
You won’t sting me
If I don’t acknowledge you
You can hurt me.
Your sting is just temporary.
Don’t pretend to me
And take
