I wear this mask
Because I can't be my authentic self around you
I wear this mask
Because you hate people like me
I wear this mask
Because it's the safe thing for me
I wear this mask
So that you won't be so harsh on me
I wear this mask
And it's so exhausting
I wear this mask
And it's hard to breathe
I rip off this mask
And everything I suspected is true
I rip off this mask
And you refuse to accept me
I rip off this mask
Even though it means living dangerously
I rip off this mask
And face the insanity
I rip off this mask
Air in my lungs and I breathe deeply
I rip off this mask
And accept me for me
I rip off this mask
And live authentically
