My Mask

How did this get so bad?
I bury my hurt and rage so i can see the next day,
I apply this mask so everyone will aprove,
I feel like i've always been doing this forever
I hardly know who i am anymore

How did this get so bad?
I stare into the mirror,
trying to see a glimpse of the "real" me,
When the truth is,
I never knew the "real" me
