Mask my Emotion, concealed with such devotion

Don’t let them see me sweat, conceal all my commotion.

Take a look into the mirror to see what others see,

But seeing me is hard because of pride and dignity.

I must not show my emotion, such a horrible notion,

A walking lie behind an I feel like trash, Mask my emotion.

I need to let it go, I need to set me free

Because without emotion, people can’t see the real me,

The nice, the fun, the kind, sensitive side of me,

I can’t always be tough behind a mask of insecurity.

Why am I this way, why can’t I be me?

Why can’t I find my way behind blurred lines of my reality?

People criticize my emotion; call me things of which I’m not,

So tired of the judgment I wanted it to stop,

But now things have changed, not for worse but for better,

I can’t take off the mask; I’m no longer in danger

The mask is off my face, the sun it feels so nice

In free to be myself I don’t care what I look like.

Before when people saw me I was a girl behind a mask,

But now thank god in free at last.

It’s okay to be afraid; it’s okay to be turned down,

It’s okay to be judges, to stand apart amongst the crowd,

Bad influence is hurtful; you become something you’re not,

You put up wall and boundaries but in the end there all for naught.

In love with my emotion, set free with such devotion,

I no longer have a to mask, Mask my Emotion
