Untruthful Disguise

I'm going to put the face on,
That gets me through the day.
And even though it's all fake,
I know it's the only way.

Once I have removed the mask.
I am who I hate to be.
The girl who sits and cries alone,
Trying to drown her misery.

They make it that much easier,
No one sees through the disguise.
Not even the people closest,
See the pain within these eyes.

I force myself to smile,
Even though its so damn hard.
To hide the torment in my soul,
And live behind this facade.

I hate to live pretentious,
But it's the life I have to lead.
So I must glue the mask on,
And forever pretend it's me.
