I was always to afraid to say what's on my mind
I was always afraid that people would think less of me if I said something stupid
I always to afraid to say my what popped into my head at the moments notice when I thought of it
I was always afraid that people would hate if I spoke out
I was always to afraid to speak out my feelings

So I kept to myself
I kept the silly part of me hidden so people would like me
I kept my feelings to myself so I wouldn't burden anyone with anything
I kept the true me hidden

But then I met someone
Someone who showed me who he
He was crazy, silly, fun loving and he wasn't afraid to be himself

I told him what was going on with me
I told him my deepest fears
I told him I was afraid of what the outcome would be

He looked me dead in the eye and said
"I like this you better than the mask you hide behind everyday when I see you. I'm here if you need me"

A mask....
Something I was so accustomed to wearing everyday
Something that hides me from the eyes of the outside world

Maybe it's time to remove that mask.......
