Everyone has a mask that they put on
Wearing it between the twilight and the dawn
When we’re with the people that we know
The only thing we can do is go with the flow
No one can know how damaged we are inside
Our true feelings, we must always hide
Only when we’re completely alone
Then and only then can the truth be shown
Everyone has a way that they let it out
Some of us cry and some of us shout
Some of us just want to be on our own
Some of us brave it and pick up the phone
Sometimes, we all just need someone to talk to
At these times, it doesn’t always matter who
It just has to be someone who understands
Giving you a much needed hug, holding hands
When you break through somebody’s mask
Entrusted upon you is a delicate task
Help them, because inside everyone’s fragile
Everyone has in their soul a raging battle.
I wrote this last year for school.
