Take of the Mask

Take Off The Mask 
Running from pain? 
Hiding from a ruthless society? 
What have we become? 
An outcast 
Always offended 
Take of the mask 
Be your own man 
Set yourself free 
Don’t be molded by hate 
Don’t follow the crowd 
Walk on your own road 
Just be you 
Don’t need many  friends 
You can’t please everyone 
Don’t say much really 
Be a mystery 
Words of wisdom 
Don’t waste time worrying 
It’s someone else's problem 
Be a leader not a follower
