My Mask

I look in the mirror, and I can't believe,
That the girl I see, isn't me.
She looks like me, she acts like me,
And still, no one can see.
The girl in the mirror, she wears a mask,
Just so she can avoid the questions often asked.
She looks so happy, she acts so free,
And no one realizes, it's not the real me.
My mask is cracking, slowly it's slipping,
And now I have to work hard to keep from flipping.
Now, my mask is broken,
And I feel like I'm floating.
Now the people see,
The true me.
I've thrown my mask away,
And I don't care what the others say.
I've made my own path,
I'll deal with the after math.
I'll never touch that mask again,
I finally feel safe in my own skin.
My mask is gone, and I am me,
Now that my mask is gone, I am free.
