Mask

Take off that mask that hides your past it's ok to show the real you Like everyone else we have made mistakes and are struggling each day just to make it through Take a deep breath of air and open up your heart, if you continue to hide your feelings you'll never get a new start The truth will surface and show up on your face so stop hiding in the bushes and get right back in the race You have to look towards the future and let some things go Get in tuned with your heart and let your feelings flow You'll release some pressure and the stress you will relieve So go on with your life and work towards something to achieve Never lose sight of who you are, always know your self worth And know that you have purpose, that's why you were put on this earth
