The masks that we wear  by Esther Daphne 

The masks that we wear  by Esther Daphne 

  The face that you see

  is not truly me

  It’s the person you want me to be

  I do it to make you happy

 

My smile hides a thousand tears

And my courage hides my fears

I have hidden my pain for years

So that my misery doesn’t fall on your deaf ears

 

My body is just a robot that walks

My mouth, a clip that talks

My brain is merely a capsule of thoughts

My hands only do what they were taught

 

I’ve hidden my feelings from you, all of you,

But haven’t you too?
