Mask

I hide behind a mask— So you know me as Mrs sunshine. Light radiates off my shoulders, As I laugh through the silence. I hide behind a mask— So you know me as Mrs talkative. I shed my worries and joys, Through talking and parlour tricks. I hide behind a mask— So you know me as Mrs perfect. Cracks never open, Faults are never revealed, I keep everything concealed. I hide behind a mask, So real you can’t see the lie. The trick is to mix in some of the truth, Until you can’t tell, Which feelings are truly mine.
