Behind the Mask
Behind the Mask I hide myself from the world I hide myself from pain I hide myself from sorrow I hide I hide behind a mask A mask to fool A mask for a fake me A happy me People can’t see my pain Nor my suffering I hid behind a mask Can I break free? When will it crack? I can’t wear this forever This mask is so heavy When can I say, I’m not ok? When is it my time? I hide behind a mask To fool To pretend That I’m happy When I’m not… I wear the mask because I am in mourning I weep Behind the mask I long for freedom I pray for peace For understanding So I can too Be free From the mask of life I was to write a happy song But a crash changed everything It formed the mask I cannot break Instead, I dance a sad dance Within my mask The mask for torment And despair Break my mask Crack my mask I cry For happiness But only find sorrow I try to help I try to protect But I fail As long as I have this mask
