Dont be fooled by me. Dont be fooled by the face I wear.
For I wear a mask.I wear a thousand masks that I am afraid to take off, and none of them is the real me.
So dont be fooled, I'm good at pretending.
I give the impression that I'm cool & confident, but inside, its different.
I am not in command.
I'm often confused,lonely and I desperately need some one to understand me.
But I hide and I dont want anyone to know.
That's why I franticlay create a mask to hide behind,
I'm afraid to show you the real me.
I'm afraid you will not accept me.
I'm afraid that you will think less of me and laugh at me.
You see deep down I'm afraid that I'm nothing,that I'm no good,
and if you knew me, you would reject me.
So I play my game, my pretending game, and thus begins the parade of masks.
My life becomes a front to protect the real me.
I chatter idly to you about everything but tell you nothing of whats going on inside me,
My fears, my worries, my doubts.
So when I am talking, please listen carefully and try to hear what I am not saying, what I,d like to say but cant.
I,d like to be honest, genuine and sincere, but I cannot without your help.
My trust grows very slowly, so you will have to be patent with me.
Each time you are kind, gentle,and encouraging, each time you try to understand, I am given new hope and I start to believe in myself in a new way.
You let me see its ok to be me.
So I can take of the mask and be happy in your company, I can let you see the real me,
Who am I you may wonder ?
I am someone you know very well,
For I am every man & woman you meet.
