Unmask

Oh, whispered soul inside
I love thee more than outside
Your actual presence abides
Masquerading won't fully hide
Thou hast an elegant soul
It doth lighten grim holes
Henceforth, wear no masks
Courage accomplishes task
Be not afraid of being eccentric
A masker feels the prick
Your true soul is most eloquent
Life more worthy meant
