The poem “We Wear the Mask” by Paul Laurence Dunbar has the message of suppressing one’s emotions in order to appeal to others who appear to be superior.

It wasn’t until 1930 when we saw the first step in the evolution of

I Wore a Mask‚ and My Face Grew to Fit it Growing up‚ I wasn’t exactly accepted by a lot of people or anyone at all for that matter. I would sit every day in class minding my own and listening to the teachers. I did what was told and simply followed the rules like one is supposed to. At lunch‚ I would sit alone and enjoy the lunch that I packed myself. Once practice came around I would do what coach said and tried to work with my teammates as much as possible. I seemed to be invisible to everyone
