Unmasking the Truth

Unmasking the Truth

I am sick of wearing this mask
For once you will see the real me
Not some cheap imitation I pretended I was
You will see how I hurt
Realize my life isn’t all I have made it out to be
Realize all the pain you have caused me
You will see how I yearn for something real
Know that I am sick of this game of make-believe
Know that I have hopes and dreams just like you
You will see how I am scared
Scared you will let me down
Scared to let you see the real me
Last, you will see how I am strong
Strong enough to let the truth be known
Strong enough to allow you to embrace me for who I am
When all words have been spoken, and tears have been cried
I just want you to know
I am real, too
