They see a child, small and innocent
They see a girl who knows nothing of the world
They see a child, sweet and charming
They see a girl who never speaks out of turn
But remove my mask, reveal my true self
You'll be amazed at what you find
Few have seen me, fewer know me
So few of them know what hides inside
I see a child, so small and innocent
Shocking how much she knows of the world
I see a child, sweet and charming
You'd never guess that I spoke out of turn
Remove my mask, reveal my true self
You'll be amazed at what you find
Few have seen me, fewer know me
So few of them know what hides inside
They see a child, cute and pretty
They see a girl who never looked at a man
They see a child, happy and smiley
They see a girl who is quiet and shy
Remove my mask, reveal my true self
You'll be amazed at what you find
Few have seen, fewer know me
So few of them know what hides inside
I see a child, cute but so dirty
Shocking how often she looks at the guys
I see a child, yes, happy and smiley
But you'd never guess she was so loud
Remove my mask, reveal my true self
You'll be amazed at what you find
Few have seen me, fewer know me
So few of them know what hides inside
Take the time to look
Take the time to know me
Remove my mask
And find the true me

I got the idea for this when I was browsing contests, and it sparked this off. I think it really says soemthing about the fact that I do hide behind a mask most of the time - many of my teachers describe me as quiet and shy, and only one or two of them know what I am really like.
I think most of my friends also see me as a quiet, sweet person, and they don't recognise that I can be just as loud, funny and 'dirty' as them when I want to be (which is most of the time). I would say that only about 10% of the people I know can even begin to see the 'real me'.
This flowed straight from my heart, as recently I've been thinking about 'getting rid of my mask' and showing everyone the true me. I feel like this poem has been waiting inside me for a while, trying to get out!
