The Mask

RSS

By Unknown •

I've never shown my face to you Why would I want to? You might laugh at me You might not see Really underneath it all I'm a good person I'm just so scared to show you who I am I try to speak but the wrong words come out and you don't understand I might get hurt if I take off my mask So why would I want to? It's getting so heavy This mask I wear it It's getting harder and harder to bear it I really want to take it off I really want to let you see me But you have to understand You're holding my heart in your hand If you drop it I'll never take the mask off again So here's my face What do you think? Are the tears too personal and intimidating? This is my face What I truly am Now show me yours
