Mask

I wear a mask to hide my heart This face in the mirror tares me apart. I wear a mask to hide what others should not know Without my mask I’d be forced to bare my soul. I wear a mask because it is my shield Without it everyone would know what I feel I wear a mask to hide myself I can’t let anyone know that I need help. I wear a mask to hide my tears I guess I hope it takes away my fears. I wear a mask to hide my shame And all of my self-blame. I wear a mask to show everyone false inside This way no one how much I cry. I wear a mask to hide my heart Maybe someday I can break this mask apart.
