Masks We're Forced To Wear

When I wear my mask

It gives me strength

Not that I don’t want you to see me

Just that society sees me the wrong way

However with my mask

I do not hide

I merely express

My inner self without feeling

The stifling, smothering oppression

That is pushed upon us

By people who know nothing

About us

Or about themselves

Which is why they don’t

Wont

Can’t

Accept us for who we are

They’re the ones who forced us

To make our masks

And wear them.
