Behind the mask
There's a whole new person
Someone that we never thought it existed.
Of course everyone has a mask
A mask that covers what we don't want other to see.
Some hide the beauty
Others hide the hate
But there's other that hide their true personality.
They change completely so they don't get judged
So they don't get trolled at.
That's not right.
People should accept themselves as they are
Not what others want them to be.
There's a mask in every person.
A mask that hides what they don't want others to see.
I wanted to ask you dudes and dudettes not to copy this work and incase you do, ask first and give the due credit.
Thanks, hope you enjoy ^~^

4. To hide and protect my feelings, even if my silence hurts others.*

*I'd prefer to tell someone my true feelings in a one-on-one conversation in private compared to in front of friends, for instance...
