Masquerade of Humility

The face you now see Is not really me It’s a “MASK” I have found When all I could do Was staring at the ground. I put the “MASK” upon my face In hopes it would replace This pathetic insecure wimp Who’s stuck in a dark place My “MASK” I use to conceal How inside I truly feel As the true self that I see Is unbearable to reveal. It’s this “MASK” you now see That helps me forget who I am Gives me confidence and power To be who I wish I could be Oh to be bold, confident and cool Not have to feel useless And perceive myself as a fool To be able to shine Through my dark inner core To be free of my fear And not feel embarrassed anymore But until that day comes And I see myself with love I will wear this found “MASK” As it fits me like a glove
