| Mask |
| Behind this smile struggles a tortured soul standing out from society Shielded in a safe place protected behind my mask of endless lies I strive to achieve the imagery you desire my mask has been built strong yet my will remains weak all this pain is repressed behind a shell of my former self Inside I give a painful cry for someone to care I mercifully plead for help I yearn for your hand Your gentle touch weakens my barriers It scares me that you posses such a power An incomprehensible force turns me away from you in disgrace I must entomb my true feeling deep within my self being I will not let you see me cry! I will not let you cast off this mask My protection! many lonely hours spent coveting my feelings building the appearance you envy so for you cannot see the whole story which is written in my eyes a story filled with such anguish and betrayal Abandoned and scared I live every waking moment in a lie my nightmares are unbeareble my feelings echo throughout my empty heart |
