Mask

I wear this mask.

So no one will see.

The real me.

I wear a smile.

That's not real.

Because I know.

No one really cares.

I'm all happy.

Because I want to prove.

That I'll be the best.

That I'm not the monster.

I will earn the respect.

I wear this mask.

Until the day.

I'll show the real me.
