Mask
Mask
We all have our ups and downs,
Sometimes we smile, sometimes we frown,
Here’s the story,
We all have our doubts and worries,
May never have an wonderful day,
While others are carefree, jest, and play,
Lots of people try to be cool,
The others always abide by the rules,
Many seek to have fun,
The dregs may have none,
Some may be shy,
But that’s how they get by,
People get a high by way of all sorts,
Several like to play sports,
Some abuse drugs,
While some became thugs,
Several pray to above,
While others get by on love,
Numbers express feelings while they sing,
Others hafta control everything,
Few actually slam dunk,
Some dress like punks,
Some are just plain wild,
While some are still flower childs,
Every day we are put to the test,
To be our very best,
We must all act in our own way,
Ever single day,
With the company of others,
We must all stick together,
Tell me why it is strictly forbidden to ask,
Why we all personify such a deceptive mask.
