The Mask

Some people wear facial cleansing masks
Others wear masquerade masks
But these are only temporary
The mask I wear everyday
Is the mask of happiness
Not only does it shield my feelings from society
But it shields society from my feelings
This is the mask I wear
This is the voice you hear
This is Ahmir
