Masked

Masked

She wakes up and,
puts on a mask,
a mask everyone thinks is her true self,
wild and untamed,
but inside, under the mask of pride and joy,
lies a self concious soul,
cautious and aware that no one seems ro notice,
notice the apprehensive person under the mask,
the mask of pride and joy.

but she is always aware,
aware of the way no one stares,
when she walks in a room,
aware of the way everyone glares,
after a bit of her true self shines through,
always aware of how no one cares if she cutts or
cries,
as long as the person wearing the mask,
helps them with their problems and worries,
forever she wears a mask,
a mask of pride and joy,
hidding her true self from all the world.
