Hardly anybody knows it
I put on a mask
My mask
To hide my true feelings
To keep the emotions in
Because I must be strong
I must be the way society made me
My mask must capture my tears
My mask must cover my insecurities
My mask must always show my smile
My fake and unattractive plastic smile
My mask must hide who I truely am
It creats an identity that I don't want to be
My masquerade mask
Keeps me from my dreams
Keeps me from opening up
Keeps me from love
Keeps me trapped
When I try and pull my mask
It feels super glued
I cannot pull it off
With my mask
It is hard to get someone to help me
I notice people
Not noticing me
Because they think I am smiley
My mask is my worst enemy
I want to show the world
The real me
My mask wants to show the world
That the real me wasn't even born
I am waiting for that special someone to come
And pull it off
Then I can glow
I will shine brighter than the sun
It will be like I was just hatched
The real me
Can have a rebirth
The real me
Will be the one everyone will love
But until then I will sit and wait
Wait for this curse to be broken
Because right now
My mask cages the real me
