I wear the mask that grins and lies,
I see Percy walking up to his father to hug him.
While mine just leaves without any goodbyes
It leaves my soul feeling dim
I must try to look happy for him
It hides my cheeks and shades my eyes,—
Im sitting here just chillin' with the guys
But i'm just a joke to them
All b/c of a damn brick
Their laughter makes my heart sick
This debt I pay to human guile;
I am hunted by a ghoul
And i can't forget it
I am so pathetic
With torn and bleeding hearts I smile,
I can barely keep down a meal
It keeps coming up as bile
My life was never in style
Maybe they'll keep my quests on file
OMGG! I am soooo sorry this is horrible! Ugh! This is We Wear the Mask, by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR.
