The Curtain or The Mask
I hide behind the Curtain
but People can still see
if they look hard
They will find me
I hide behind the Curtain
When I want them to know
What is bothering me
What hurts now
I hide behind the Curtain
so those who know can assist
and those who don't
aren't pissed
I hide behind the Mask
ensuring I'm not seen
burying the hurt
harboring the hatred
I hide behind the Mask
to cover the emotions
to suppress the hate
to control the anger
to show the love
I appear happy and friendly
But my secrets of boys, money, and family
would reveal a terrible twin.
So you pick - the Curtain, the Mask, or the Me.
