What If I Took Off My Mask

What if I took off my mask would you love it still to you see the face that hides behind it what if I showed you the real me would you stand to comfort me or would you just stand there and only stare what if I gave u my emotions to feel how I feel, would you stretch out your hand and help me heal? what if I gave you an opportunity to see through my eyes to visualize what I see and your ears to hear what I hear tell me would you still be here? I bet you wouldn't because behind this smiling mask is a sad face and swollen eyes flooded with tears behind this mask is a face nobody wishes to see a person nobody wishes to be and the cries nobody wishes to hear tell me, if I showed you the real me would you still be here?
