The Mask We Wear

we all wear a mask to hide 
all the things we carrie inside
like the smile we wear so people cant see
deep inside how angry we can be
... 
we put on masks everyday of our lives
sometimes just to hide the hurt & pain
that way we can protect our pride 
and no-one will know our shame

these masks comes in different arrays
to keep everything concealed
so we continue to wear them everyday 
so that nothing will be revealed

sometimes these different mask 
might not appear quite appealing 
we them wear so people wont ask 
us everyday how we;re feeling

so every morning when we leave 
we take that mask from off the shelf
and wear it around so people beleive 
that we're as happy as everyone else
