I’ll paint my mask on thicker, <br />Pray it hides my fears <br />And hope that it won’t wash away <br />With my falling tears <br /> <br />I’ll paint my mask on thicker, <br />A complex web of lies <br />To protect the real me from sight <br />And turn away your eyes <br /> <br />I’ll paint my mask on thicker <br />It’s smudging slightly now <br />But I will not dropp the act just yet <br />I really don’t know how <br /> <br />I’ll paint my mask on thicker <br />And a smile on my lips <br />But it’s crumbling around the edges <br />Don’t hate me if it slips! !<br /><br />Becky Ginn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mask-7/
