Without My Mask

My mask has been on for way to long,

I was comfortable letting people see the PHONEY me,

Until one day I realized I had been living a lie!

I took off my mask...it's time to be strong!

It's time for me to be whatever I wish to be!

I have spread my wings. I am learning to fly!

I must remind myself that this is for the best,

Am I ready to take the challenge on?

I will learn that I need to shine!

For now my mind must rest,

I need to prepare myself for the mask to be completely gone,

I must accept the fact that without it I WILL BE FINE!

A heart felt poem with much truth. Please, take those masks off and face life strsight on. Nobody is worth living behind a mask.
