Pink ice cream
Is all it takes
For me to see:
What I really mean
To my dear old friend.
And blue cotton candy,
Is all it takes
For me to know,
That when I’m down,
Someone is there
To erase my frown.

I love wearing a mask
For it conceals bruises, cuts and wounds,
Hides frowns, tears and squirms.
Buries hatred and anger,
Prevents treachery and danger.
I love wearing a mask
For it keeps me away from pain
And shields me from disdain,
Loneliness and sorrow I can easily contain.
I love wearing a mask
For it shows I’m laughing
When deep inside I’m weeping.
I can even appear to be crying even when I’m happy,
If to grieve with the world, is what a friend needs from me.
I can even stay away from betrayal,
And can keep close to my heart those who are special.
I love wearing a mask
For I’d rather break my heart
Than make the ones I love depart.
I’m anyway numb from all the heartaches,
So I can endure despair for my loved ones’ sake.
As long as I have the people who truly care,
Whatever amount of anguish, I can surely bear.
I never liked putting a mask,
But I have to do this so that I can bask.
No questions that cause tension,
No arguments that cause friction.
