I place a mask upon my face,
To hide my inner soul.
Why I do this ye have yet to know,
For the answer lives within.
Why am I such a mystery?
Ask you from afar.
Is it just her nature?
Or something more?
A mask in the social sphere;
A different mask for others.
A mask removed only....
To those I trust.
Why do I hide the inner me?
For fear of further torment
You see a mask is good for this....
Yet, shields off the true inner beauty.
Comment: I started this poem in high school and just recently finished it.
