Sometimes I wonder, if I removed my mask and showed you the depths of my soul would you still think I'm beautiful?  Darkness clouds my mind creating a chaos of emotion.   Things that I never share with you,  not because I don't want to but because you wouldn't understand.   The burden I bear is much more than I've ever shown you and I would hate to force that upon you.   I'm broken,  like a discarded piece of glass that has lost its luster.  I thought your love could fix me but as soon as you are gone the feelings are back.  So I'll continue to wear my worn out mask because I fear what you might think if you see what I really am.
