It

• Artist: SilverPages
• Description: I wrote this a little while back. The girl it talks about is my best friend. The guy is a really close friend, a "brother." The "leaving" refers to him going off to basic training for the military. I've had a very tough life so far and these two people are the only ones to see the real me.
  
  
  extra points to those who know what "it" refers to.

Everybody has one,
Some people don’t need one.
But I do.
I wear it all the time.
I take it off for only one,
And it’s never for long.
It quickly goes back on.

I almost took it off for another.
He knew what I was doing,
He let me.
He didn’t flinch,
He only loved.
I saw what he got me to do,
And quickly put it back on.

I don’t like wearing it,
It’s very heavy.
Why do I wear it?
People don’t like me,
So I hide myself.
Only two know,
Him and her.

She loves me,
Even when I take it off.
He’s never seen me without it.
He sees right through it, though.
He looks at me with love,
Right after I reach up to take it off.
Maybe that’s why I don’t,
Because I’m afraid he’ll leave,
Like the other three did.
I don’t want him to leave,
So I leave it on.

I may someday take it off,
But not anytime soon.
And not for him,
He’s leaving,
But not because of me.
Maybe I will take it off,
Just for him.
Because I love him.

beautiful, idk wut uve been thru, but this is very touching, i have an idea wut "it" is but i dont want to anounce 4 everyone to read and im not 100% sure any way, the unknown and the hints to it make it even better. even if it wasnt 4 the art it is a very amazing piece due to the story. i hope u get thru this, weve all had it hard, so i may not no where uve been, but i do no that it wasnt easy. after writing sompfin like this its easy to tell u are a very deep and interesting person.
