Behind the Mask

Location

You laugh at me,

So I tend to flee.

I hide behind this mask,

I’m just trying to finish this task.

 

You call me names,

To you it’s just games.

You fill me full of pain,

You big bully named Lane.

 

I hide behind a curtain,

And that’s for certain.

I’m afraid to step out,

I’m filled with this doubt.

 

People won’t accept me,

And many will agree.

So why step out,

When their just gonna call me a trout?
