Breaking Free From Your Mask

All those days, I lie awake at night

Begging for an answer to become clear

Collecting all these thoughts and life experiences

Doubting all the masks I present to people

Every inner though in my brain is urging to break through and crack the fragile masks

Facing life how I truly want to is a goal

God only knows the real me

Hidden inside is an eagle ready to soar free

I have fear to show people whats truly on the inside

Just seeing others hiding behind their own masks gives me some sort of strange comfort knowing that I am not the only one

Kindness is a quality that I possess and will greatfully reveal to the world

Love can always be found when someone develops a friendship with me

Most people see me as innocent and vulnerable, but,

Not everything is what it seems

Over and over, people try to tear me down, but I stay strong

Pulsing heart beats appear with every attempt to tear off my mask

Quizzical looks are shown on the faces of those who start to see the true me

Realization starts to sink into their brains

Sand drops, grain by grain, in an hourglass, waiting for the final grain of sand to drop before the truth is set free

Truth reveals itself slowly, but with confidence

Under pressure is when the mask will come off

Vanquishing all preexisting fears

Washing away all insecurities and starting fresh and true

X-rays are no longer needed to see the inside

Yearning for freedom is now put in the past

Zig-zagging thoughts are no longer existent, now it is just a clear and straight path to relief and happiness.
