Masks

The darkness reveals all.

Look into the darkness

Where the perfect people shed their masks and the optimists are really pessimists

Where the person who's always happy, drowns their sorrows in alcohol

Where the person who never cries, can't stop

Where the all together people, completely fall apart

And the well-mannered, act insane

Where the quiet ones, scream their thoughts

Where the innocent virgins, are sleeping around

And the so called sluts, lost their virginity to a rapist

Where the woman who wears too much make up, wipes it off to reveal the bruises

Where the even tempered, punch holes in the wall

Where the criminals are truly the victims

Where everything you thought was the truth, is a lie

And all the so called lies are the truth.
