Flames apperciated. First posted fanfiction.

People wear masks

to hide their true feelings

It is rare to see

the person behind the mask

Some people wear them

so long that they

become the mask

They fool so many

people that they

start to fool themselves

The mask gets stuck

and they can't take it off

Others are fully

aware of who they are

and break down

when they are alone

If someone would

just look they'd see

the pain that they hide

Sometimes we need

a closer look

to get to know

the person behind

The mask
