People ask me if I’m OK?
I say Ya, I’m fine, and walk away.
My mask that I put on my face everyday,
Doesn’t show pain,
Only shows gain.
This mask that I put on my face everyday,
Doesn’t show stress,
Only shows perfection.
This mask that I wear,
Doesn’t show hostility or loss,
It only shows friendliness and happiness.
This mask of perfection that I wear everyday,
Doesn’t say what I really think,
It only says what I want you to know.
This mask of perfection I put on my face and wear everyday,
Its name is Chels.
Most of you know this mask very well.
Only one person knows the face under the mask…
Me.
So when you ask me if I’m OK?
And I answer with, Ya, I’m fine, and walk away,
Please just remember that you asked the mask, not the face.
