We wear a mask that covers and shades
The price we pay to be accepted.
Never showing who we really are
Fear of not fitting the "perfect image"
We speak differently,
hide our true feelings.
And yet we smile.
Why should we show our true selves?
Just to be disgraced and turned away?
No...lets hide.
We wear a mask.
It helps protect us from the others.
The others that wear a mask.
For they too pay the price
continue their day with a smile.
Society has become a cookie cutter
To make all fit one
What no one will admit is that
We don't fit into a cookie cutter.
We're all our own with quorks and all
And yet we continue to wear a mask,
Smile and all.
