Colors of our Reflections

Feeling like you can't be yourself.

The mask you wear,
so shiny, bright and new.
Reflecting beautiful colors
that are not you.

Emotion deep inside,
buried behind this wall.
A false happiness and joy.
Smile for the ones that walk by.

You know that they'll not ask why.
They had never seen you cry.
The colors you reflect
are a filtered few.

So hidden you will stay,
till you find yourself a new,
Let your colors show through.
