The Paper Bag Poem by Jade Blaydes

I hide myself so others cannot see
The pain inside, the pain in me
I made this thing up, not meaning to brag
I call it 'The Paper Bag'
You may think I'm kind of strange
Or maybe a little deranged
But if people care enough to bother you
Then it means that they're thinking of you too
So why call it The Paper Bag you ask?
Because here is a secret task
Take off your mask, reveal the real you
There is nothing else that you can do
Don't be one of 'Them'
Be the one and only 'You'
