The Glass Mask

We all have one, because we put it on every day,1

When we go to work, school, or out to play. 2

It’s the glass mask meant to protect are true face. 3

It lies for us, 4

Can cry for us 5

It shows the world what we want it to expose6

Nothing else but it can’t be perfect for nothing ever is. 7

Some day the mask will crack or break,8

People then will call you a fake. 9

You then make a new mask that’s better, stronger and more powerful than the last,10

Hoping that it will live on,11

You know it never will 12

    This was pretty good. 'are' should be 'our'. I liked the idea behind this. Good job! I can't find anything that really needs to be fixed about this, though it could be just a little bit longer. Overall, nice job.
