Mask
Everyday we must wear a maskto protect, to provide, to comfort
because we don't want loved ones to worry
because we think our emotions would not be
accepted
because we simply want to be left
We smile at those we despise
cry to get our way
all the worlds a stage
and we use it to the best of our ability
Because we know something bad would happen
if we let those ugly emotions run free
if we let our hate, madness, and despair
show to those we both love and despise
We would be pitied
hated
kept out of everything
shunned and
isolated
And for that single purpose
we wear the mask
to hide our mouth
our eyes
our face
and our emotions
