Who's the
Person behind the
Mask,behind the glitter
behind the glass
Who is the person at the
Masquerade ball,she hides
Her secrets, feelings,and soul
she's solid as a rock
Won't let anybody in,she's tough
Pulls the mask off I see honey brown
Eyes, an eyebrow that arch in a way not like mine
A smile as bright as the sun it's self,her writing
a gift from heaven and hell
She know pain and she know happiness, she hide this person
Under the mask,this mask made of mud and gas of present. And past
this is her but she hides this person on the inside
Never will she pull off this mask

Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.&rdquo;<br /> <br /> <br /> ― Dalai Lama XIV
