Mask

 

I was once sad and lonely

Having nobody to comfort me

So i wore a mask that always smiled

To hide my feelings behind a lie.

 

Before long I had many friends

With my mask, I was one of them.

But deep inside i still felt empty

Like i was missing a part of me.

 

Nobody could hear me cry at night

For i designed my mask to hide the lies

Nobody could see the pain i was feeling

for I designed my mask to be laughing

 

Behind all the smiles were the tears

Behind all the comfort were my fears

Everything you think you see

Was'nt everything there was to me.

 

Until now im still searching

for that thing that'll stop my crying,

for that person, who'll erase my fears

and who'll wipe away my tears.

 

But till then I'll keep on smiling

Hiding behind the mask im still wearing

Hoping one day I can smile, but till then ill be here...

waiting.
