I thought I was being me.
I wear a mask all the time,
I just didn't know it,
People who I though knew me- don't.
Not the real me anyway.
Everyone wears a mask at times,
Its a natural defense system,
When you are around certain people,
In certain places,
Feeling certain feelings,
The mask appears.
You can tell you are wearing it,
As you are screaming inside,
But you are unable to portray your feelings.
But what if you wear the mask so often,
It becomes natural?
You don't know when you're wearing it,
People who you thought knew you-
Don't.
All they know is what you choose to show.
After a while what you choose to show,
Becomes normality.
Then what happens when you forget you?
When you don't know how to be yourself,
When "normal" becomes a mask?
What happens when you don't know its on,
And suddenly all you know becomes a lie?
When "you" begins to show,
You're accused of acting weird,
You aren't cry, laugh or feel,
Cos you're not sure if its you or not.
You donâ??t know anything.
You don't know where you're going,
Can't decipher between right and wrong,
Good, bad, the past and the present.
Trying to please the world,
By being anything but you.
Someone please help me to remove this mask,
Before its much too late,
And I forget who I am,
What I used to be,
Please, someone help,
So I can become me.
