The Mask

It protects me, for I am weak
Like a bird within its shell
Freshly pipped, and now I peek
But stay inside where all is well.

I am brash when I speak
But the speaker is a lie;
A role to hide a freak,
But the truth is in my eye.

Do you know that I am meek?
The mask I wear is bold;
Its confidence I seek
But its skin is hard and cold.

The persona is a charmer,
But can I escape my armor?
