My Mask

I have a mask for all to see
To remove it would mean to know the real me
My mask is colorful and extremely bold
But
If you take the time to know me
It will unfold
A mask is a first meeting
Never sure if it is true
Never knowing its real meaning or if its the real you
I dare you to get to know me behind this colorful mask
For truth be told of this task 
Is to see the person behind, "The mask"
