I Wear the Mask
I wear the mask that hides the hurt and the pain
 It hides me from all of my fright and shame
 You make me so mad, but I can’t let anyone see
 You hurt everyone, but especially me
 That is why I wear the mask
 
 The slaps in my face and blows to my arm
 You were never supposed to bring any harm
 I sit alone so no one knows
 I wear the mask
 
 Harassment and yelling is all I’ve known
 But smiles and laughter is all I’ve shown
 I hide it all inside
 No one has seen the tears I’ve cried
 I’ll always hide
 I wear the mask
