Mask


In darkness, where no one sees I begin to lose control and succumb to the disease that's slowly eating my soul. But all you see is a smile, a lie of nothing awry, in my mouth you'll just incur guile and never see me cry. I keep emotions light, and keep the mask, my ace. But don't cast a light too bright for you might see a saddened face. But I'd rather you knew my situation then who I really was, a trapped soul with a sweet temptation, instead hiding all her flaws. So tonight will be the same no one will break the cycle, it's all an endless game, to which we all are disciples.
