My Name is Mask


Nice to meet you My name is Mask. I smile and say "I'm fine" To all those who ask. Your secrets I keep hidden From all the prying eyes. Camouflage your emotions but Your feelings become lies. Wear me for too long And your soul I may steal. Thats a steep price to pay Just to not want to feel. Often in life we are judged by those Who know not our whole story. Who live equally fake Sheltered by false glory. Not all of us can handle The beast kwot locked inside. That's why I am worn So he may safely hide. Removing me is a task Not easily done. For you must fight against yourselves Until one of you has won. So if ever you wish to Battle that beast within, Prepare yourselves for war And let your games begin.
