A girl once, a mask now.

The mask came in the world when she was told to behave,
A wild fire whom the world wanted to tame.
She fought hard to not let the mask rule
But she didn’t know, she was a fool.

The mask brought a comfort she never had,
Be it her angry mom or frustrated dad.
The mask made them happy more than she ever could
She wasn’t a disappointment because the mask stood.

The mask listened to everyone’s need, be it relative or friends,
the mask was never demanding and always knew how to blend.
She started to make different masks for everyone
she still tried to fight inside but mask made sure she won none.

She was a girl waiting to make her name
Mask came to the girl and offered fame
She knew it would be masks win and not her
But now she was becoming the mask and the mask trying to become her

She found love and thought of removing her mask
He left without a word as she unmasked
She knew the mask was her only friend
It stays with her no matter what till the end.

The mask was an ally waiting to be used
the mask was never tired, not even asking for a snooze.
She now started liking the mask but the mask always liked her
The mask although kept his real intentions blurred

The mask started to take over the little girl
she was now bound in chains, the one who wanted to once twist and twirl
A time came when the mask consumed her
She became the mask and the mask became her
