Masks

My closet is full of many masks I can choose to wear For my true face I would never share Each day I awaken I look to see which mask I want to put on me Which one do I want to choose Do I want to make people laugh today do I want to console someone who has had a loss Do I want to act wild and free It is so very hard not to show the real me People do not want to see What lies deeply in me My pain I keep hidden away Showing the world what they want to see My masks are to make people's lives better For that is what I want them to see I always put the world before me I am no one when I stand alone but my masks are made intricately to fill the voids people have within them To take away any sad feeling they have within their hearts For my quest's in life has always been to bring happiness and love to people all around me..
