Veil of Obscurity

I'm hiding behind this,
Veil of obscurity,
Because I don't want people,
To see who I really am,
This veil of obscurity is like a mask,
A mask that hides my true emotions,
I may smile and laugh with my friends,
But behind this veil of obscurity,
I'm lonely, sad, and depressed,
I strive to show the real me,
But I hide behind this,
Veil of obscurity,
Because I'm scared of being rejected,
By my friends and family,
So I hide behind this,
Veil of obscurity,
Hoping that someday I can stop hiding behind this,
Veil of obscurity,
And show the real me,
