a mask to cover up the flaws
a mask to take away the imperfections
a mask to hide the truth
a mask to cover up the feelings

it beautifies,
it shows what everyone wants to see,
it takes away the insecurity from oneself,
but once taken off, everything falls

you see who the true you is
sometimes you feel great and pretty
but most of the time, you pull yourself down
and you go deeper because of others

a mask can prettify
a mask can hide something
a mask can falsely portray you
but a mask is all i have to show
