Facade

You may think I gave up my mask a long time ago
But I only traded it in.
Instead of hiding behind purple plastic,
I hide behind a grin.

The purple plastic protected my identity
While the smile masks the pain.
A green skinned guy learns to hide himself
From without and within.

I don't care who sees me on the outside.
It doesn't matter now.
But the way I hurt on the inside,
I'll hide, no matter how.

My friends all think of me
As the funny guy.
They don't know that late at night
I often sit and cry.

To all the Titans Beast Boy will be
The funny one of the squad.
But no one will ever see
The hurt behind my facade.
