Masks

The face shown, a mask worn, hides the truth
wont let anyone see you
they may run, hide away, so you create
this fiction, this stage actor, a fake

Your mask covers the tears you swore to never cry
the fears you hoped would die
never let them in, to see the beauty beneath
the truth inside, could cause them to retreat

Be careful with masks worn
who you pretend to be, may become the norm
you may forget who you truly are
the real you, the brightest star

Sometimes you let the mask slip a little
shows a person so fragile, brittle
but that soul sings
a beautiful thing

Thanks for reading.

Peace and Love.
