Masks
People see her as a Greek piece of theatre
Never showing her true identity
Always hiding behind a mask
She goes along telling my story
But reality never comes out
At home, a different mask is put on
The innocent child with a pure mind
Her parents couldn't bear the person she actually is
The person her friends love
And others are intimidated by
But really she prefers the life without a mask
The girl she sees in the mirror every morning
Hardly anyone ever sees the naked face
That lies beneath a heavy, intricate mask
Except for me
