What do you see when the mask comes off
A Man of Integrity
A Woman of Strength
or
The hidden insecurities and weaknesses
The dark side of passions
or the other personality
Fears and anxieties of the Unknown
Hiding from the law or yourself
Hiding from abusers or stalkers
Anger with the world or your neighbors
And when you put the mask back on
You hide yourself from these emotions, fears
and personalities, hide behind another face
Not your own
To make the world see you as strong of character,
having goodness, fearless, upstanding,
Yet you tremble behind the mask
Afraid of being found out that the mask the world see is not yours.
