Behind Their Masks

"Behind Their Masks" © 2005 Michelle Lynn LeBlanc Some people are just so broken, As they hide Behind Their Masks Hardened by things they don’t understand Angered by what happened in their past Trying so hard for so many years They gave up pushing to make it through Pressing down the fears they had Now the pain is being hid away from you They try to hide behind surface relationships Afraid to be honest about how they feel Crying out, while keeping silent Can anyone help their hearts to heal? Looking like they have it altogether Acting like they’re as strong as they can be Can anyone read their silent message? They need help beyond their own ability © 2005 Michelle Lynn LeBlanc
