My Mask

Hiding behind a mask
Of what they want to see
The mask portrays a smiling girl
The furthest thing from me

Behind the mask however
This girl is far from strong
Crumbling on the inside
Trapped in a world gone wrong

My every thought is tainted
But the Feeling still remain
Nothing can save me now
Or take away the pain

Tired of all the shame and hate
I deal with every day
Drowning in the darkness
A fake image i portray

Looking in the mirror I cry
Hating whats staring back
All I see is imperfections
And an empty heart of black

The words echoing in my mind
Broken beyond repair
Wishing to break down and fall
But to catch me: no ones there

I feel as though theres no release
So the pain just grow each day
Living a life of sadness
Will it ever go away?

The mask i wear is slipping
And its very easy to tell
This unbearable thing thats called my life
It's a living hell
