I'm so lonely
Behind this mask I wear
No one knows the real me
It seems like no one does care
-
I'm alone in this world
Where no one sees me
Only this mask upon my features
It's my fault no one can see
-
I try to stay away from people
For if I don't love I won't cry
But it's so hard to see all their smiles
From behind this mask of mine
-
I hate this mask
It's not me at all
Oh, I wish someone could discover
The person behind my wall
-
I've built a fortress around my heart
No one can get inside
It's safer that way
But from myself I've no where to hide
-
I try to loose my mind in books
Shy away from my feelings in poetry
It's worked this far
But I feel as though not even I know me
-
I blame myself for their frowns
When they moan they don't know me
It's not their fault, it's all mine
I just don't know how to be
-
I've tried to leave this mask behind
I don't know how, I realize
Living in the world of fake and true
This mask shall be my demise
-
I've never learned to love
I've heard the word and seen it's play
To do it I cannot
I never know what to say
-
I need help to drop this mask
But I can't talk behind my wall
I try to, I really do
I need to be the person you never saw
-
