Mask

I've got this thing that hides me,
So no one can see inside me,
I have a different personality,
I pretend I'm strong and bold,
But no one knows what I hold,
Because they can't see within me,
I might breath fire,
And guess what I desire,
I wish everyone would stop hiding,
And show who they really are,
I mean everyone near and far,
Don't you know we look look ridiculous,
We are all one big fool,
Come on let's be cool,
For I am sick of this,
I have had enough thank you,
I believe we are all tired too,
For we have huffed and puffed,
Are way through the future,
Do you still have a culture,
Or have you forgotten,
For I give up on this task,
So I am finally taking off this mask
