To Wear a Mask

We often choose our mask
For the present masquerade
But we do so to hide our pain
To avoid knowing our shame
To exist becomes a grave task
As we are revealed by questions
That the world longs to ask
Will we be able to hide
Will we be able to save our name
From the truth that longs to escape
Through my mouth
Through my sorrow
I cannot hide
Long enough
