Mask

You think I am that stupid 
You think I am that naive 
Do you really think, I can't see your true face that you hide 
The glare in both your eyes
Even with all the wickedness that lies 
I can still see the beauty that you supply 
And it's sad that you feel that you have to wear that disguise 
For the world to truly accept you
That is truly your own demise 
My hope is one day that you display it 
Then, will the world be truly surprised 
Not all will accept it 
But that is finally when you will learn to rise
