MY MASKS:
MY MASKS ARE THE THINGS THAT HOLD ME BACK
MY MASKS ARE THE ONLY THINGS PEOPLE EVER SEE
MY MASKS ARE THE FUNNY SLACKER GIRL
THE ONE WHO SEEMS TO HAVE IT TOGETHER
BUT REALLY DOSENT
JUST BECAUSE I ACT THIS WAY DOSENT MEAN I AM THIS WAY
NO ONE SEES ME FOR WHO I AM.

WHO I AM:
THE CHRISTIAN GIRL
THE GIRL HIDING BEHIND THE DOOR
THE ONE WHO YOU SEE BUT DON’T KNOW
I AM THE TREE HUGGING, PARTIALY GOTHIC
TOMS WEARING, EMO HIPPIE
TORN DOWN, HOPELESS AND DISTRAUGHT
THE GIRL WITH ALL THOSE MASKS.
