Our masks that protect us
Our armor that shields
These walls of comfort
To others just yields
How can they care
If they never see the real you
How can they love
If they never really knew
We hide in fear
Cowering in corners
We beg for understanding
But live like mourners
Some masks heavy
Almost like stone
Others are clear
And loosely sewn
What mask do you carry
Exhaustingly upon your face
How solid is the wall
Around your space
Perhaps it is time to take a peek
At a life without the veil
See what is really out there
Sans the weight, you may just sail
Lift it gently, put it in a box
Give your thanks, say goodbye
Let the world see the real you
And no longer live a lie
