Wearing A Mask

May I just ask? Why do you wear a mask, Is it just used to frighten And your sense of power to heighten, But, of you or your mask I am not afraid It isn't you that is portrayed, Even if you wore a robe or a hood To me that doesn't mean if you are bad or good, All that you are doing is just hiding your face But, I can still see the shame and guilt and disgrace Go home! and look at yourself in a mirror Then tell me what you see, bravery or fear. Tell me, do you wear a mask just to terrify Or do you wear it hoping only to mystify, Maybe the reason behind your disguise You are hoping only to decriminalize, But, what over your face that you might wear To tell you the truth, I don't really care, It isn't a mask that says who you are To me on your soul there's an ugly scar, Of a mask I will not ever be terrified I am here, so that one fact I have clarified, So, if you don't mind that I ask Why not take off that silly mask.
