It’s a dark night and you’re all alone
I watch you from a distance
As I follow you home.
I only want you to be safe
From all the harm in this city
You are worth a chase
After all my love.
Someone catches your eye
You see that it’s me
Though what you see is a lie
I am not what you think to be.
I’m scared I’ll disappoint you
With what’s under my disguise
So I display a smile
That would usually tremble when you see my real eyes.
With this Mask I am Yours.
I am confident
Witty and brave
Intelligent and strong
While a piece of fabric rests upon my face.
If I take this off
You will see
The real girl I loath to be.
I’m clumsy
Shaky and torn
I try to stay still
But in my body there’s a great storm.
Though I am nice.
And thoughtful too.
I just hope…
That will value to you.
With this Mask I am Yours.
But what about without?
