Masks I Wear

The mask I wear,
 Is to protect myself,
From you,

I put on a mask,
To cover up the tears,
The tears I cry over you,

I put up walls,
Because I don’t want to be hurt,
These walls protect me,
From the dangers of the world.

The mask I wear,
To cover up the pain,
The pain you have caused,
The pain that I cry over,
Tears to fall,

I put up a act,
To see how people take it,
Also to save me the pain,
The pain I only understand,
The pain that you have caused.

These tears that I shed,
Is from you,
That’s why I wear a mask,
The mask that covers me,
