"I am the mask you wear, it's me they hear." -TPOTO

Do you even know me
Or am I the mask you wear?
Revel in my accomplishments
They'll soon find you weren't there
You don't even know
I met someone who makes me tick
Because if I told you
It would probably make you sick
I can't help but wonder...
What am I to you?
Am I a little bird?
swimming through the blue?
What kind of feelings
Do you think I feel?
My thin skin 
You don't even try to peel
Wear the mask the people might like
But god forbid the mask be a dyke
God forbid the mask be a psych
And god forbid the mask unlike
Unlike the others
they don't wear masks
Expressions free
To feel and unlash
What you see
is forever me
And you'll have to live
With my legacy
