The Mask

get a grip im expected to succeed 
face fear be strong take the lead
not hesitate in thought of deed
my mask must never slip


man up,keep my thoughts inside
no one can know how much i cried 
when the rockets came and the fear arrived
my mask must never slip

crack on theres no time to reflect or admit
that i did genuflect and prayed to god 
me to protect , 
my mask must never slip

chin up worry not bout how i feel
never let them know just how surreal
it was dark thoughts i cannot reveal
my mask must never slip
