When I told you I lost my mask, you made me a new one,
You forced me into someone we both knew I wasn't,
You plastered a smile on my face and laughter up my throat,
You broke me down until I was what you wanted me to be,
Then you got mad when I acted like someone else when I was around my friends,
But see, my good friend Life, I lost my mask,
When I told you this I wanted a new one, so I can't complain when you give it to me,
My friends see my mask and ask why won't I take it off,
I tell them it was given to me by a friend and I was taught to never give away presents.
***
To everyone who wears a mask, it's okay to give away a present.
