Wearing a mask is a difficult task The pretending, the lying, The going home crying. Saying I'm okay, when really I'm not. Lying to my friends, in fear of getting caught. If they truly understood, All they'd have to do is look. If they'd look deep into my eyes They could read me like a book. It's not that hard to see All the pain that's dwelled inside And all the hurt that's bottled up Is difficult to hide I've done a pretty good job, considering all the facts. The more I think about it, I want to put this in the past. Until all of this pain slowly fades away, Behind this mask I feel protected, And this is where I'll stay.Birth sign: Not entered
