Masked

Walking this path divergent enough

Far from being smooth causing huff and puff

Ludicrously odd, a whirly experience 

Embracing wilderness yet intrigued by violence

Pulsing through my veins is the anger I feel

Wounds break open as soon as they heal

Darkness summons me pulling me behind with every step I take

I manage a smile, but what if I tell you it's fake

I'm as different inside as I am the same

Wish they could see they're not to blame

I know the truth, but it's locked in my heart

And now more than ever, it's tearing me apart

What is wrong? Do you need help? Is all they may ask

Rightly so I have decided to live with a mask

Just like a lonely star sitting in the sky

Which flickers, shouts out loud, goes unheard and only manages to cry

My smile hides my tears, my laugh hides my screams

It's been this way for sometime, things just ain't as they seem

Soon enough I'll reach my end

You'll have my soul to tear and rend

Certainly, I'm fine, you need not worry

Just my mask, you don't have to be sorry

Hiding the sorrows, running from the strife

Wearing this mask to escape the knife

The look on my face is giving me away

I wonder now, what will you say?

But you will never get to know, you never may ask

Because you will never be able to look beyond the mask
