Masks
Everybody wears a mask
the reason I dont know
maybe to hide the pain they go through everyday
or maybe to cover up the marks left by a strong man.
even I wear a mask
but the reasons are different.
I dont like for anyone to see my pain
to see my hurt
or my sadness
sometimes you where the mask so long you cant take it off.
You cant seem to cry anymore
it seems you have no emotions.
take it from someone who knows
never wear a mask
for one day it may never come off.
