She hides behind her mask
of courage and confidence
Not letting anyone
through to her sheltered heart
She hides from herself
because it scares her to be vulnerable
At school ahe's brave
She's strong
At home she's distant
afraid to share her secrets
In her room she is herself
the one she shows briefly to her friends
She dances, she sings
she's fun, she's kind
She's that girl I want to be all the time
but I'll never call her mine
I put aside that mask today
finally I am not ashamed
