• I wear a mask and hidden are my thoughts
    My emotions and feelings forever scared
    But on my mask is plastered a smile
    For others to see but not for me
    My emotions are secret, away from all
    No one has yet seen me, myself true
    All they see is the mask I wear
    To please instead of scare
    My mask removed, they would all run
    They would not see me true
    I wear a mask with a plastered smile
    But inside I am shattered glass
    Once beautiful, clear
    Now sharp and dangerous
    Yet vulnerable and chipped
    I yearn for the light
    For someone to see through shattered pieces
    Through my mask and web of lies
    I yearn for true understanding
    Yet I am not found, but someday
    Someday soon, I will let the mask fall
    I will repair my shattered glass
    And begin anew
    Without that mask and plastered smile
    .
