Each morning I put on the mask:
                                                          ­ of perfection
beauty
                                      kindness
­                                                                 ­                                humor


Everything I wish I was
With another crowd I take it off,
And put another on;
                                                             ­    of braveness
sarcasm
                                 stealth
                                                         ­                                       ambition


In a way the masks protect me from harm,
I just fit in
Am like everyone else
Invisible
My identity lost

WHO AM I REALLY?
For I no longer know
I never take the mask off for long
Scared of whats underneath,
Scared to be me
Inspired from the short film "identity" it really made me think
