I woke up this morning
With a smile on my face
A resolve to agree
Or disagree with grace
Now my cheeks ache
From feigning delight
How I wish to be
Be myself tonight
The day passed by quickly
With me saying 'yes'
I war with emotions
The 'no' I suppress
And no, it's not me
Who agrees outright
A mask to take off
And be myself tonight
A woman of poise
Who lives a good life
The girl who has everything
A satisfied wife
The many masks I wear
And take off each night
When at last I'm alone
Voices in my head
I replay each scene
What could have been instead
My words, bared
No sugar coated spiel
Actions, spontaneous
React on what I feel
I'm scared, I'm weak
Frustrated, and pained
My solace are tears
I let fall, free reign
In the dark I can hide
And do what is right
At least for a moment
Be myself tonight.
