Masks

I used to think 

That I had to shrink 

In order to be wanted 

I used to believe 

That I had to hide myself

To fit in 

But now I see

It's all clear to me 

That I can't keep on running

I can't possibly hide, 

Can't keep it inside 


The masks we hide behind 

Are nothing more than a 

Fake kind 


You don't have to pretend 

You don't have to give it up

Because of someone else's coverup 


So be the person you really are

The amazing, true, beautiful, funny, person 

Inside
