The Man In A Mask Poem by Jean Eugene Guan

I'm just a man,
Wearing a mask.
Behind this smiles,
Behind the laughter,
Is a lonely soul.
A soul that suffers
Pain and distress.
That keeps driving me,
Lower near to madness.

That even though they
See me laugh.
They just don't know.
That deep inside me,
I feel like dying,
Couldn't show,
Couldn't see,
What's in me lying.
Keeps me sinking
Deeper in my tears.
Couldn't find hope anymore.
Yet you came to my rescue.
And made me realize,
That all I need is you.

That you know me.
You know who I really am.
That you can save me.
And take me where I want to go.
That you can teach me to live.
To give, to forgive.
Lord, you take away this mask,
And make me live again.

You make me realize,
That I am not alone.
That I can make it,
And face it on my own.
That I can fight,
I can win.
That you are behind me,
Lord, you make me know,
That you are my fire,
In the freezing snow.
That you are the sun,
That warms the earth after the rain.
You are the rainbow.
After the storm.
You are the waves,
That touches my shore.
Don't give up!
I am not the man in a mask,
Anymore.

That you know me.
You know who I really am.
That you can save me.
And take me where I want to go.
That you can teach me to live.
To give, to forgive.
Lord, you take away this mask,
And make me live again.
Lord, you take away my sorrows,
And made me believe I can.
