I made a mask for myself one day
So colorful,  filled with glee
but beneath the surface
lies another aspects of my personality.

Nobody sees me cry
Because i designed the mask for smiling
Nobody can sees the pain
Because I made the mask for lying.

Beneath the smiles are tears
And behind the joy is sad
Everything you see,
Is not everything there is me.

I once removed my heart mask
In a place where nobody could see
I look in a mirror as tears fell to the floor
I ask myself,  "Why can't I just be me? "

My face was hot and sweaty
Because i wore it for along,  long time
I told myself not to wear it again
And stick to this real beauty of mine.
Be true to yourself.. People who truly loves you will acceots the real you.. Be you..
