Roses Might be Red, Violets Blue, but I'm a Shade Seen by Few

I hide behind this mask of mine

The pain inside is rarely seen

Hidden far behind the curtain line

To this way i am Keen

I have struggled this way for far too long

As i take the stage I can see

I'm ready to sing my song

The crowd has grown for me

I speak what you want to hear

No idea of the emotions inside

Are they really my peer?

So many have already said goodbye

I open my mouth to tell the truth

Lie after lie is all that came

And pain exploades that i cannot sooth

Will it always be the same?

The battle began deep within

My hatred hidden behind a painted grin

I just want it all to end

Why do i feel like such a sin?

Why am I here i wonder

The storm is already beggining to swirl

Even now i can hear the thunder

I follow the wind as it twirls

It leads me across the stage

My life has been but a script

I'm desperately trying to turn the page

But i can't help but drift

I have endured the worthlessness placed upon myself

Placed deep within the hidden closet

Like a toy unworhty of the adorned shelf

My place, I've just once again lost it

I run my nails across my skin

Their voices playing within my head

Here so many marks have already been

Faded from everything they've said

I have been called so many things

But ther is one who can take it all away

They won't let me spread my wings

That is the least i could say
