Before you, I may seem a quiet, shy girl,

But I am much more than that.

For you I know this must be very hard to believe,

But this complexion of me is just my mask.

 

My mask is able to hide my fears, sadness and my depth,

But those people who are close enough to me, are able to look through this see-through cover.

It is an ability to master to be able to seem someone you’re not.

However everyone has a mask, and is able to master this talent.

 

Deceiving and being deceived are two very different things.

I am able to deceive people like you with this talent of mine,

However people are able to deceive me, with their talent of acting, and using their mask.

This power can be used for good and bad, all depending who’s hands this talent is in.

 

This mask can give us protection, letting us act confident, when we’re scared.

The mask can make us feel as if we’re someone we’re not.

Our masks can lead us to meet new people.

And these masks are what makes us, us.
