Mask

Take off that mask that hides your past it's ok to show the real you
Like everyone else we have made mistakes and are struggling
 each day just to make it through
Take a deep breath of air and open up your heart,
 if you continue to hide your feelings you'll never get a new start

The truth will surface and show up on your face
 so stop hiding in the bushes and get right back in the race
You have to look towards the future and let some things go
Get in tuned with your heart and let your feelings flow

You'll release some pressure and the stress you will relieve
So go on with your life and work towards something to achieve
Never lose sight of who you are, always know your self worth
And know that you have purpose, that's why you were put on this earth
