Under The Mask

I wove a mask from sorrow and fear

Created someone new

A happy person

A wonderful person

Maybe a person like you

Ahh but Under the mask is

Hatred

Desperation

Wanting to be loved

Under the mask I am a small trapped bird

Waiting, wanting to be free

For tis under the mask you must fear

For that is you

Make no mistake

There's nothing that's quite perfectly formed

but rather the beast within.

And for those who do not hide nor shrink away in fear

I applaud your audacity and hope that you shall remain one more day here

Till away you are swept in the earth's business and forget who you really must be.

Just remember all you need is to take off the mask and reveal what's underneath.
