The Girl Behind The Mask


I am confident, positive, & strong on the outside

But timid, unsure, & weak on the inside

I try to be like everyone else

While my true form hides within myself

I want others to see me through my lies

To confront and comfort me when my mask dies

To uphold me and remind me that I am worthy

To be who I want without any worry
