Hiding from the world, he takes off the mask,
thankful to be alone at last.
when out in the world, he pretends to be glad,
although deep inside he is very sad.
he puts on a mask so his fear won't show,
wishing time would hurry so he could go.
he looks at everyone and just smiles,
he's been hiding behind the mask quite awhile.
afraid to tell his true feelings because he is scared,
to do something different that no one else has dared.
he wonders why people are so hateful and mean,
nobody knows what he has seen.
going back home now, he takes off the mask,
thankful once to again to be alone at last.
