You make a mask over time,
Slowly working it to perfection,
Smoothing out the bumps and wrinkles.
Fixing the cracks and adding to the paint.
When you wake up the first thing you do is put on your mask,
When you go to sleep you take it off.
Some days it feel heavy.
Sometimes you take it off when you are alone and let the tears flow,
But then you hear someone coming closer and you quickly put it back on.
Under it your about to break,
About to crumble and fall to the floor.
But on the outside you smile and laugh.
Some people can see the mask,
But most don't bother.
Quickly put your mask on or they might see you!
