You wake up, get ready to go out
For school or for work
Take your make-up kit
Covering up those spots on your face
Just because everyone is doing it
You do this to cover up your insecurities
You look into the mirror
See that one pimple
You quickly cover it up
Why can't you for once remove that face mask?
Show who you really are
Even when you put on the face mask
You still feel insecure
Day by day, you compare yourself to other girls
They have face masks too, right?
Why does theirs look better?
More defined?
Looking at the mirror,
Your thoughts turn back to that moment of worthlessness
You stare at the mirror
Take off that face mask
Revealing all your flaws and defects
Courage immediately fills you
You are not afraid to show the world who you truly are
You don't have to hide behind any masks
Not even a face mask
