Masks

People today

Hide behind masks

They shake and shake,

They never last.

Too unhappy with life,

Afraid to ask a question.

Too shaken by fear,

Too shaken by rejection.

The mask smiles,

As they frown.

The mask lies

As they drown.

They say they care,

They really don't.

They say they'll be there

They really won't.

So rid yourself of greed,

Take my hand,

And take them off

In the count of three.
