The mask to hide in the shadows The mask to hide in the fear The mask to hide your face Hidden in your tears The mask to shield your horror The mask to shield your truth The mask to shield the reality And protect the real you The mask you use to hide To protect you on the inside The mask that we think goes on forever But never even lasts On Halloween we see many masks Covering the faces of different people However, one thing we don’t know Is the real horror we may not be seeing THE SHIELD By Celine Dubose ’30 18
