The Mask

She hides her face when she's not alone...She wears a mask, but it's not her own


I'ts everyone else she wants to be

Be just like them Supposedly free


Free from the troubles, the troubles of life

Free from sin and worries and strife


But when night time falls and she climbs into bed

Her mask falls apart and her head fills with dread


She screams and she cries but no one can hear

She wants them to know, know all her fear


Her fear of facing a world with no mask

Afraid they won't like; afraid they won't ask


So she waits for the day with hope in her heart

When she'll wear her own face and make her new start
