Behind My Mask


Behind my mask I hide

far from eveythig

just out of judgement's reach

just out of presure's sight

jus out of pain's grasp

just out of stress's glimps

Behid my mask I hide

keeping hiddden

my opinion and brutal honesty

my temper and tears

my breakdowns and fears

my frustration and sorrows

Behind my mask I hide

for a reason

so they see the happy

so they see the positive

so they see the strength

so they don't suspect

Behind my mask I stay

just out of reach

to keep them happy

to keep my sanity

to keep away questions

to keep the image

Behind my mask I stay
