We wear the mask that hides our face that bears a grin and hides our frown.
I remember hungry days and sleepless nights, scared of the boogie man, but my boogie man was all too real…
Silent prayers
lost hope
beggin to no one in particular
Please don’t let him do it tonight
No where to go to just be me
Lost
We wear the mask that hides…
What am I hiding from?
Who am I hiding?
Why must I suffer alone?
Why don’t you see?
Mask
I live in a world where I’m afraid to be me
Wonder why that’s not enough
Mask
Hey, who should I be today?
Maybe I’ll be a confident young woman with all the answers
No. I’ll wear the mask of silliness. I’ll pretend like what’s going on is this world.
My world doesn’t bother me… I know I’ll...
That bears a smile and hides our frown
Who am I? No really who am I?
When I look in the mirror all I see is the mask.
What do you see?
You think you know but do you even know yourself? Who are you? Who are you? What do you see?
Mask
I am you, you are me.
I struggle. You struggle. But we survive
My fears are realized every day but I face them head on
And
I’m still here
We wear the mask no more.
