Mask
When will you stop wearing your mask?
When will you stop hiding from everything?
When will you stop acting like everything's okay,
When it actually isn't?
When will you realise,
That this is only a temporary solution?
When will you accept,
That you have to stop lying?
Do you even want to take off your mask?
You've buried yourself in fake smiles.
Do you even realise what you've become?
You're suffocating in these lies.
Are you the one to blame for this?
Or is someone else's fault?
Falling, falling, falling,
Endlessly into darkness.
Endlessly into darkness,
That is your lies.
It all started back then,
When your heart was smashed into pieces.
You thought you could push it aside,
And it would go away quietly.
To make sure people wouldn't worry,
You'd smile and say "I'm fine."
You'd laugh and grin so much,
That no-one would see your lie.
Now, looking deep down inside,
You realise that it is not real.
You are not okay.
You are still broken.
No matter how much you smile,
No matter how much you make yourself laugh,
No matter how much you push it away,
The pain will still be there.
But don't fret,
Don't drown yourself in it.
Because someone,
Someday,
Will come and pick the broken pieces up again.
They will light up your world.
They will destroy all the pain and sadness.
And once that happens, you'll realise…
…That you are actually smiling for real.
