Behind The Mask

Are you okay? Same question, every day Fine, I say But it's not okay Pain hides behind A mask of happy design Tears fall at night But morning brings new light Weight of the world Crushing, cold, unfurled Heart beats with sorrow Pain that won't borrow Night brings silent tears Morning brings hidden fears Mask is put back on World is fooled, moved on What if we dared To remove the mask we've shared? Would we find acceptance? Or be alone, rejected? Behind the mask, a story Waiting to be told, to glory Hopes, dreams, fears, and age A tale of life's turning page Let's remove the mask we wear Show the world our true care Love and kindness, we'll share And find our true selves, without a care.
