~My Mask~

AFTERNOON

My Mask

I hide behind a mask

You can't see my face


Looking at first glance

I'm in a happy place

The truth is, that's a lie

But you can't really tell

that in the back of my mind

I think the world should rot in hell

What's the point of living

If we are all going to die

What's the point of being happy

If in the end we're going to cry

But this is something no one sees

This is something no one knows

And yet deep inside of me

This feeling of hatred grows

So even though this mask reveals a happy side of me,

I use the mask as a shield to look at what others can never see.
