Erase the 'Mask'erade

My smile is just a bandage
to protect my wounded soul,
to give me time for healing,
to regain my self-control.
Like tattered rags I gather
my loose threads of sanity
and wonder how you think that
you know all there is of me.

So much I haven't told you,
even more than you could know.
The past plays on my eyelids -
all these memories ebb and flow.

I wish that I could show you
what it's like inside my mind -
that way you could be witness
to the things you cannot find.
If only I could reach you
and if you could reach me, too -
you'd see I'm not exactly
like the one you thought you knew.
