Masquerade




















Masquerade


Chains
worn with pride
once meant to contain
the spirit of my people...
Bind

Eyes closed
We dare not speak
We try to rise above
Yet the prejudice still remains...
Struggle

With such hate
as each day continues,
we masquerade, as pride is swallowed.
We wear masks fearful, that someday, someone will see,
Our true face
