Home and mask

For a long time,
I am behind the mask,
Likewise
Like inside the walls
People live in a house,
Or in some forest
Behind some bush
An animal rests,
Do you know
Homes hide within them
All kinds of secrets and those
Emotions that can't be shown
And always on the door
Stays Smile
Shrubs in the jungle
Gives better chance
To take some more breaths,
It's weird
To openly breathe
We have to close ourselves
Forever
And then the mask becomes
Our identity
Like masks we are
And we are the masks ...
