My Mask

This person inside of me.

That you so badly want to see.

Is way too hard for society to believe.

It's hard to be myself around them they just don't understand.

The past put a barrier around me I just can't let them in.

If they knew me, who I was I would be the stranger in the dust.

They could careless how I feel, ignore me as if I wasn't real.

So I put a shield, I put a mask on who I really am.

The person you see on the outside is fake.

She has been gone for a while now.

Once a heart so full is now overwhelmed with aches.

You think you know the pain through my eyes.

But no, where were you all those sleepless nights.
