The Mask

Alone and crying

Your body shaking

As you sob so violently 

You remember

That you have places

At which you have to be

They don't know about your pain

Or that you're going insane

Nobody knows

You must hide the tears

As you have done for years

You put on the mask

And make sure it's straight

You go out into the world

With that mask doing it's job

All of your friends

And all of your family

See the mask 

And believe this non-reality 

This imaginary personality

And when you're alone in your room

You'll take off the mask

You'll write on your arms

And you'll climb into bed

And you'll sob and you'll cry

Because you're in too deep 

And no one around you
 Will ever know why
