You can’t see
What’s hidden behind the mask.
I might put on my brave face
But deep down, I’m terrified and scared,
Alone and unprotected and I don’t know what to do with myself.
Some days my mask of hate is on,
But really, I love you
And really, I don’t know where I would be
If you weren’t around to be with me.
My strong mask, the one you see everyday
Isn’t who I am; I’m weak emotionally
I’m weak mentally; I can’t handle this
I can’t handle this confusion .
I might don my independent face
But in this sad reality
I need you, I need you more than anything
More than I need water and air
More than I need food and shelter
You are my heart and soul
You are my reason for living
You are my reason for wearing the mask
