It's Not a Mask,It's My Face

I like to wear mask I wear a mask everyday This mask I wear for my mom This mask I wear for my brothers This mask I wear for my sisters This mask I wear for my dad This mask I wear for my aunts This mask I wear for my cousins This mask I wear for my uncles This mask I wear for my grandma This mask I wear for my grandpa This mask I wear for friends This mask I wear for strangers I've grown so accustomed to wearing a mask, I've even made myself believe it's my face. It's sometimes painted. It's sometimes plain It's sometimes decorated But even after all that, when the night comes and I'm sitting alone I remove the mask. And out falls everything that I fear.My scars shows.And the darkness finally is let out. I can cry, silently My screams are never heard. But that's alright, as long as everyone else is happy it's fine right? To be honest, you just sound selfish.
