Who are you behind the mask?
Are you capable of completing the task?
Or is that too much to ask?
Or should I bottle it up in a flask?
Can people see the real you?
Or do people tiptoe around what you do?
Thinking what the hell is wrong with you,
And why you are acting the way you do.
Break out the smiles, put away the blues,
It is time you put on those dancing shoes
Do not let strangers give you the news
That you are grouchy, mean and disliked by a few.
