Who are we,

When no one’s watching?

When the mask is no more,

What’s left behind it?

Could it be…

A teenager trying to move on from

A life she choose to leave behind

The child we once were who is still

Afraid of what could be lurking in the dark

A foolish girl wishing to meet

Someone and fall in love

A writer whose deepest thoughts and

Feelings are expressed through her writing

An overly empathetic person

Who cries over movies and books

A believer who is struggling to find

The will to make time for Jesus

Somebody who is scared

Of being all alone

Whose thoughts can be

So loud and overwhelming

And the voices of all those

Who hurt us come back

Do we end up listening

When no one is watching

When the mask

Is left behind

Do we just become everything we’re

Scared to admit or be in front of others

When no one’s watching,

Who are we
