Painting my mask with colours Reds, greens and blues Tainting my shell with patterns Stripes, dots and hues Wearing my mask I leave Strutting down the streets Inside, my soul miserably grieves Once I return to my sheets The mask I decorated so strikingly The mask I wear so elegantly The mask I hold so sincerely Is the mask I fashioned with dishonestly Painting my mask with cries Blacks, whites and greys Tainting my shell with lies Tears streaming as I pray My confidence long astray

Mask
Painting my mask with colours Reds, greens and blues Tainting my shell with patterns Stripes, dots and hues Wearing my mask I leave Strutting down the streets Inside, my soul miserably grieves Once I return to my sheets The mask I decorated so strikingly The mask I wear so elegantly The mask I hold so sincerely Is the mask I fashioned with dishonestly Painting my mask with cries Blacks, whites and greys Tainting my shell with lies Tears streaming as I pray My confidence long astray
