Behind the Mask
I always wear a joker's mask
I always smile wide
Some would be surprised to find
That's not who I am inside
Really I like silence
Being alone with just myself
No one there to bug me
Just me and no one else
My life is full of hardship
Everyone thinks I'm fine
But really I'm effected more
By the passing of time
Everyone I love has died
Everyone is gone
Sometimes I think of going too
But that would just be wrong
If I think about it though
It's really not that bad
All the other sins I've committed
And leaving wouldn't leave anyone sad
Life is just a trial
Death is just a choice
I've made my decision
I've found my true voice
Now I sit here staring
At the gleaming, bloodstained knife
My blood flows from my wrist
And with it flows my life.
