The mask

sometimes we put up a mask to hide something, but its better to be yourself than a mask. A mask is fake, but you, you are for real! You don't need a mask to hide under...

I reach out, lift it up, and put it on

the fake diamonds and pearls, the fake smile, and face

it sticks to my face like glue, not willing to come off

not wanting to come off, what is it doing there

no one knows who I am, no one knows

no one knows who I want to be 

no one knows who they are making me, no one knows

no one knows what I am becoming

no one knows what I will become, no one knows

I am a mystery that never will be solved

I am a puzzle that never will match

I am the snow that never will fall

I am a past that will never see it’s future

I am, who am I

 have forgotten who I am

why is that mask on my face

was I trying to hide something, I regret it now

I would rather be me than just a mask

the mask sticks to my face like glue

not wanting to come off, not willing to come off

what is it doing here, what have I done
