Hidden Poem

Hidden
Masks hide ones true self
How you really are inside
You have to look past
The face, the body
And into the heart
To truly understand
Some have made such good masks
People think they’re something that they’re not
Then try to tell people the real them
But people don’t believe it
They look on the outside
Not the inside
That’s what really scares me
That rarely anybody will ever know
The real person
Inside of a new found friend
Or a passer-by on the street.
