I was once sad and lonely,
Having nobody to comfort me.
So I wore a mask that always smiled;
To shadow my feelings behind a lie.
Before long, I had many friends,
With my mask, I was one of them.
But deep inside, I still felt empty,
Like I was missing a part of me.
No one could hear my weeps at night,
For I designed my mask to hide the lies.
No one could see the agony I was feeling,
For I designed my mask to be laughing.
Behind all the smiles were the tears,
And behind all the comfort were the fears.
Everything you think you see,
Wasn't everything there was to me.
Until now; I'm still searching,
For the thing that'll stop me crying.
For someone who'll erase my dread,
For the person who'll care that I'm not dead.
But till then I'll keep on smiling,
Hiding behind these curtains I am fading.
Hoping one day I can smile without my mask,
Till then, I'll be here.. waiting.
