mask
This mask
At one time
Was my identity
It had friends
It had secrets
It had power
Some liked it
Some cared for it
But none loved it
Some wanted it
Some believed it
Few had seen past it
So this mask...
Could've been happy
Except masks don't feel
but I did
I felt fake
but I let the mask win
yet the mask
Was just a mask
So why did it have such power
I didn't like it
I wanted to be real
but I was so scared
what if it hurts
what if they reject me
what if i'm alone
so i live behind a mask
hating every moment
wishing to be saved
yet they couldn't save me
because they didn't know me
finally I realized
I was my own worst enemy
so I removed the mask
and for the first time
I lived
