Persona

We all wear a mask No matter how we shape or mold it It stays the same way even with a slight change For the mask is a part of us Just as we are part of the mask When we hide a hidden side Deep within our hearts It becomes a shadow Something we try to deny Something to forget But it always comes back to haunt us Trying to engulf us in its darkness To show others what their really like As they keep denying it gets stronger Shifting and molding into something terrifying The shadow becomes a beast A monster of our dark side Because we've denied it For thinking it isn't a part of us But it is a part of us Like we are a part of it The only way to combat it Is to accept it as it is For that shadow is you You are the shadow Your persona that is in your heart Don't be afraid Just face it Show no fear Accept it The shadow is you You are the shadow You wear the mask Wearing the mark On your heart Once you accept it It becomes a great ally A powerful persona Right by your side Always there to help you When things get tough Most important of all Never forget the friends That help you through The hard times you face For they will help you They are the light in your darkness A shining glow at the end of the tunnel A hand extended out to grab you If you are to fall They will be there for you We must learn to accept ourselves For who we are Hiding our other selves Will just make problems grow Just be yourself Be proud of who you are As you wear the mask Keeping your head up With full confidence Your persona is a special one Never forget that It is your ally Your friend Your other half Your shadow Most of all Your mask Its your persona Be proud of it As it is proud of you To accept it as it is
