The Mask, by honesty_kills Subscribe to rss feed for honesty_kills

see the pretty mask she wears
it covers her once beautiful face
its a combination of colours
she thinks it keeps her safe.

no one really knows
what part of her is real
shes a devious little pretender
afraid of things she feels.

she is such a sad sad spirit
hiding behind a smiling mask
sometimes she screams when shes alone
and she thinks that they wont hear it.

she understands nothing
yet knows everything
all she needs is placed in front of her
yet still, shes missing something.

the mask she wears
has transformed her
into something she is not
and there is no cure.

it is a disease
serious, in a way
it kills who you used to be
once blue eyes are now a dead gray.

shes the only one
who can help herself out
many tried, many failed
she can win, without a doubt.

the question is
does she really want to?
go back to her distant life
its a fight, won by very few.

they hope she tries
they hope she hears
the message they put out
"it doesnt matter what it is
looking at you from a mirror."
