The Mask I Wear

♫

I wear my mask

to hide my pain

My mask is long

From head to toe

From the make-up

I wear in my face

To the socks that keep

my feet warm

My mask is different

every day

I use it to make me

Seem stronger

I wear it to make me

look tougher

With my mask

I can pretend like there’s

nothing wrong

With my mask

I don’t have

to worry about people teasing

me

I might seem tough

When I’m wearing my

Mask

But as soon as it

Comes off

I turn into a vulnerable

Little girl, who needs

Love, affection, and comprehension

I sleep through the night

Just like that

But wake up just to put the mask

Right back on
