Masks

What colour is your mask?
is it a bright pink
happy and seemingly carefree
is it deep blue
calm and quiet as an untouched sea
is it a collage
appearing as what you wish you could be

What?
you say you don't where a mask
you say this is your true face
you're not trying to hide anything
you're lies are a disgrace

Everyone has something to hide
something they keep away from the world
that's why we carry around our masks
what horrors would we see if they were all unfurled

I'm keeping my mask
it'll keep me safe... hopefully
but if it doesn't
it's not going to change a thing
