Everyday masks we do wear,
Everyday roles we do play,
In every way guarded against harm,
Walls blocking insight and prying.
Keep them at arms reach,
At distance cause no harm,
Trust lets them past the walls,
Once inside they can stab your back.
Only the most loyal allowed in,
Only true friends see your pain,
Only blood see the scars,
They bear your weight in the need.
We wear faces for situations,
Strong for those needing help,
Calm in the face hate,
Stoic in the face of loss,
Love for those alone.
Everyday rarely we show our true self,
Trust comes hard to us,
Love sometimes gave too easily,
Self-worth underestimated.
Your Greatness, hidden even from yourself,
Society makes you think less of yourself,
You are worth a whole lot,
Never forget your loved and respected.
