The Mask

The mask isn’t just a mask.

The mask is more than one.

She hides inside it like a flask.

She will never be done.

The mask changes emotions.

It goes from sad to surprised to happy.

When she puts it on it’s like a magic potion.

She keeps it from her friends and family.

She will always wear a disguise.

The mask is her strength, but also her demise.

The mask hides the tears underneath.

It hides the pain.

From Easter eggs to Christmas wreaths.

She will wear a mask till she is old and grey.

The mask is fear.

The mask is false.

The mask is powerful like a bear.

It hides her most secret faults.

Be careful, for true love may fall for the mask and not you.I have a mask, it is of a clown, to hide all the pain, that surrounds...me.
