Masking
I feel so alone
My heart slowly turning into cold stone
And as I pray and wish for just a friend just one
I realize just how dumb I look and I need to be done
Because no one else is being hurt
No one elses heart is in the dirt
I wish I could just cry
Wish someone would just try
But I mask the pain and loneliness well
Make believe I am just swell
Why allow my vulnerability to show to you
So you can just use it against me like you always do?
I have no more tears
But i always have that fear
That if I allow this mask to slip
Will it make you change and flip?
So I keep it up, to old and new
Super glued so no one will ever see
How anything ever meant and how I use to be
