Unveiling the Mask

Unveiling the mask 
To reveal Adriyana
Unveiling the feeling of low 
Unveiling the past history  
Unveiling the fake smile 
Unveiling shyness 
Unveiling the shell 
To reveal who I really am 
To reveal who God has made me to be 
To reveal the young woman my parents have raised me to be 
A young woman that respects, love, and shows growth in my character 
Growth like a rose in the spring 
Rose whose thorns aren’t intimidating her from growing 
Unveiling the place of despair 
So I can see myself as beauty 
So I can taste the goodness of freedom 
So I can smell the sweetness of joy 
Unveiling the mask to release Me  
Unveiling the mask so I can be revealed
Unveiling the mask so I can breathe
