Mask

By VDub26

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Look. Can you see my face? You think you can, but it's actually a mask I wear this mask to make you like me So I can be 'cool' like everyone else I know that if I took my mask off, You wouldn't treat me the same I know you couldn't accept the real me Couldn't accept what I am really like Do you want to know the real me? Let me take off my mask. Here I am I am faithful to God, and spend time with others Who feel the same as I do I show my emotions freely, when I mask is gone I know you can't accept my mask-less face So I put my mask back on So I can be your so-called friend But if you can't accept the real me Then you must not be a true friend If you don't like my mask-less face, Then you aren't someone who cares When you can accept the real, mask-less me Then I will call you friend Written January 0th, 2000 © on Mar 08 2002 05:35 AM PST, Matt Van Wormer   18 • 0 • 10
