I wear the mask

by Nat-a-Tat   Jan 30, 2006


It's like I'm trapped inside my own body
And the fake me wears the mask
It smiles and nods like the rest
And acts happy when anyone cares to ask

But I'm dying inside
My fire has burnt out
I no longer have a glow
I cry in the shadows and torture myself
My true feelings never show

I'm no longer the girl who used to love life
I'd rather sulk in my room
I sleep all day and all night
I'd rather not exist I assume

I used to go out
I used to have friends
I used to have so much fun
But now I am changed
My thoughts are deranged
The good times are all gone

I'm angry and sad all the time
I hate what I've become
This isn't the real me
I wish my life was done

I was once so happy
Embraced the world with my arms opened wide
I once had a smile that could light up the sky
I once had a laugh that cheer up a room
But now things are different
I'm filled with animosity and gloom

I rarely smile, I rarely laugh
And if I do, it's half-assed
I live with the mask I wear
My real emotions boiling inside
But why am I trapped within myself?
What am I really trying to hide?
