Beyond the Mask
Each day we only have one task
To live our life to our very best
Sometime we hide behind a mask
Even when we do our very best
Though the future can look bleak
It doesn't mean that we are weak
Sometimes we need to shed a tear
We were strong at the very start
For out of the blue a mask we wear
What became of that strong heart
Why can't those feelings we speak
For our true self that we now seek
We thought that there was a place
Our true self from the world hide
But was there really such a place
Or did we just hide behind our pride
New day is dawning so does a task
Start a new day take off that mask
Now it time to rewrite your life story
As each day you can face tomorrow
You won't have to be enrobe in glory
Doesn't mean there won't be sorrow
Living is about overcoming life task
Knowing you can live without a mask
