The masks that we hide behind

I have put this mask to protect from constant attacks. I have put this mask to try to be part of the group. I have put this mask to try to pretend something I am not. And now the mask deceives everyone. More people than I expected and that I wanted. How hard is to see behind the mask? I wish I could take it out, but it is so tightly sticked in me that I don't have the strength to take it out. I am still a shy little girl trying to learn how to socialize and all people see is this almost confident person. I wish I was able to show my real self to a few more people. I wish I could be true to myself and survive with little harm. I wish I am not causing anyone to put on a mask. I wish life was less unjust. I keep the mask and just hope to meet someone that can see through it.
