I can see through your mask,
Things you tried so hard to hide,
Things you never wanted people to know.
You wanted to push your demons into your dark core,
You were afraid of facing them yourself.
But you don’t have to be alone.
I see to your core,
I can light up the way,
And we can fight your demons together,
Fight until we know they are gone.
Your mask has been there so long,
It has become a part of you.
You are afraid of becoming vulnerable again,
Afraid to show your feelings to others,
Because they might not feel the same.
It has been the wall that kept out the hurt,
Becoming thicker and harder to remove.
I cannot remove it,
It takes courage and only you to do it.
Take my hand,
And I can show you the life you have been missing.
When you block out the world,
You are turning away from pain,
And from joy.
Don’t make the same mistake I did.
I thought all the world was corrupt,
Thought that everyone was against me.
But there are others who will stand with me,
And fight for what we believe.
The mask is just a lie.
It wants you to believe it can protect you and keep you safe.
But you are shutting out the ones you love and care about,
Destroying all trust in people who truly want the best for you.
I can see through this mask,
And all it is doing is hurting you.
