The Mask


We wear the mask that hides who we are 

It hides our highs and our lows

This debt we pay to society

With physical apperance 

Picture perfect

 

Why should the world judge us?

They start to judge other's by their outer apperance 

And fail to see the inner 

Let them see us while

We wear the mask 

 

We smile but we cry inside

We torture ourselves

There are those who get carried away 

And don't know when to stop

But let the world control us 

We wear the mask!
