Somehow I've got everybody fooled,
into believing I'm some innocent little girl.
i don't understand why, nor do i comprehend it.
my own existence is a frail one, something I'd rather ignore.
still, somehow i got everybody fooled.
with a smile, a laugh and a gesture of happiness,
i play the perfect part each & every way.
i appear so well before your precious eyes.
but don't you see?
thats not me, thats nothing like me.
I'm a cruel person,
with a lot of sharp edges, like a blade.
something i urge to use all the time,
perhaps this scares you, maybe not.
don't be afraid, don't cry for me.
I'm fine, on my own.
the way i belong,
behind this mask, i cry & hurt inside more,
every hour, every minute.
you know the truth now,
i betray everyone around me.
never was the way i portrayed.
somehow i got you all fooled.
like a picture painting,
the strokes appear so smooth and gentle.
but reality is; they are rough around the edges.
as am i
