The Mask

get a grip im expected to succeed face fear be strong take the lead not hesitate in thought of deed my mask must never slip man up,keep my thoughts inside no one can know how much i cried when the rockets came and the fear arrived my mask must never slip crack on theres no time to reflect or admit that i did genuflect and prayed to god me to protect , my mask must never slip chin up worry not bout how i feel never let them know just how surreal it was dark thoughts i cannot reveal my mask must never slip
