My thoughts lie naked
Without covering
Without shame
My desire reveals
Its passion
Its need
I have no mask
To protect myself
I am yours to hold
To love
Tag mask
Pretence
Is my smile too wide
Is my laugh too loud
Am I too happy?
If I smile and wave
And I call your name
Will I reveal myself?
If I smile and blush
And speak out loud
Will my feelings show?
Should I just be still
Or if I look your way
Will it be a stare?
Am I too happy?
Closed Book
You have no idea what lays behind the mask I wear
You wear a mask
You do not show
The man you are
I could not know
The man you are
Remove the mask
Reveal the soul
Behind those eyes
Or stay hiding
If that is
Your choice
Your Mask
You wear a mask
To hide your glance
You wear a mask
To hide your stance
You wear a mask
To hide yourself
You wear a mask
To blind yourself
Release your mask!
Reveal yourself
