Behind this Mask

By Samantha Katlyn Herbst

Let me hide behind this mask To let me shut away this pain Let me complete this task

For years we have lived this masque Waiting for the day we gain Let me hide behind this mask

I told you not to ask The life we have worked for was in vain Let me complete this task

I should have known you would bask In the victory of my chain Let me hide behind this mask

Now I am nothing but a lasque Cut from the inferior brain Let me complete this task

So no one can see me unmask And make me a family stain Let me hide behind this mask Let me complete this task
