Masked
Masked

You think you know me
you think you know all I'm about
but what you don't know
is that I carry this mask about

You know the me that has fun
who laughs and jokes with all
you know the me that cares
about grades friends and family
but what you don't know
is that I carry this mask about

You don't know the pain
the nights when I've cryed
all the hurt and confusion
but what you don't know the most
is that I carry this mask about

Someday I might get rid of it
thought now it gives some comfort
it lets me not show the pain
and lets everyone think I am fine
but what no one knows
is that I carry this mask about

If I put the mask away
will the friends still be there
will me family still give support
because when I put this mask away
then you will see the real me
then everyone will know
that I carried a mask about
