The Masks We Wear

Don't be fooled for the masks that i wear

For I wear a thousand masks.

Masks that I am afraid to remove 

For you might see the real me.

You might see that inside,

I am a trembling child 

I built a facade to protect me, my emotions,

My thoughts from all.

I concealed what I feel for I don't want to be judged 

Years of putting on a mask has made me forget 

What I truly am.

I have built a wall that is hard to break down

If you decide to break it 

Please do it gently for a child inside is scared,

Trembling, weak.

Don't be fooled for the masks that I wear

For I am weak and I need understanding.

I dont need to be judged.  

For an innocent smile and innocent stare 

Might be a facade of the hurt and bruised

Heart.
