Leslie mehlbauer - Masquerade Ball

Look at me....
What does the world see?
Is it happiness?
Is it hate?
Is it sorrow?
Or is it disgrace?
So many feelings-
So many faces-
How would we all get through this?
Just like the next person around me,
We lead or attend
A Masquerade Ball...
So what do we do when times like these appear?
We just hold up a paper mask each time someone tries to peel off the first one...
Again and again-
Time after time-
We will never show our true feelings
Each time you pull one off another one will appear-
So what will you do?
Peel one off each time?
Then receive another?
