A mask, something we use to conceal our selves with.

Some people wear one, so they can hide their emoions.

Some wear it so they can hide their true selves, out of fear of being rejected.

And some don't even realize they're wearing a one.

So do I wear one?

I have no idea.

But if I do wear a mask.



The reason would be...

















I wear a mask with a smile for hours at a time

Stare at the ceiling while I hold back what's on my mind

And when they ask me how I'm doing
I say, "I'm just fine"

And when they ask me how I'm doing
I say, "I'm just fine"

But the fact is

I can never get off of my mattress

And all that they can ask is

"Why are you so sad, kid?" (Why are you so sad, kid?)

That's what the mask is

That's what the point of the mask is

So you can see I'm tryin'

You won't see me cryin'

I'll just keep on smilin', I'm good
(Yeah, I'm good)

And it just keeps on pilin'

It's so terrifying

But I keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)

I've been carin' too much for so long

Been comparin' myself for so long

Been wearin' a smile for so long, it's real

So long, it's real, so long, it's real

Always bein' judged by a bunch of strange faces

Scared to go outside, haven't seen the light in ages

But I've been places
So I'm okay-ish, so I'm okay-ish

Yeah, I'm okay, bitch

But the fact is

I need help, I'm failin' all my classes

They think that I need glasses

I just really wish that I could pass this (Wish that I could pass this)

That's what the mask is
That's what the point of the mask is

So you can see I'm tryin'

You won't see me cryin'

I'll just keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)

And it just keeps on pilin'

It's so terrifying

But I keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)

I've been carin' too much for so long

Been comparin' myself for so long

Been wearin' a smile for so long, it's real

So long, it's real, so long, it's real

So long, it's real

So long, it's real

Author's Notes:

I've done it.... I've made my greatest masterpiece, anything I write cannot be compared to this.

I've peak, it's so beautiful.

The themes that this represents.

Criticizing society on how it treats those who are struggling with gender identity, those who are struggling with issues regarding race, or those who are struggling with their sexuality.

I hope you enjoyed this, as much as I did making it and I hope you would share this with people who are struggling with these kinds of issues.
