Behind My Hidden Mask


Sweet and kind outside

Still sweet inside

Stll lingering is a desire for solitude

Behind My Hidden Mask

Passion as an artist

The thirst of a scholar

The pen of a writer

Behind my Hidden Mask

Sensitive soul

Barely reachable dreams

Choices coming apart at the seams

Behind my Hidden Mask

Fantasy world of magic and adventure

Danger spilling over at every turn

Balancing love and scorn

Behind my Hidden Mask
