Masquerade of Humility

notapoet

The face you now see

Is not really me

It’s a “MASK” I have found

When all I could do

Was stare at the ground

 

I put the “MASK” upon my face

In hopes it would replace

This pathetic insecure wimp

Who’s stuck in a dark place

 

My “MASK” I use to conceal

How inside I truly feel

As the true self that I see

Is unbearable to reveal

 

It helps me forget who I am

That gives me the power to be

The person who I’m not

But who I want everyone to see

 

Oh to be bold,

Confident and cool

Not have to feel useless

And perceive myself as a fool

 

To be able to shine

Through my dark inner core

To be free of my fear

And not feel embarrassed anymore

 

But until that day comes

And I see myself with love

I will wear this found “MASK”

As it fits me like a glove
