Unseen

I have never been seen as myself
Only as an image upon a shelf
All that is ever seen is the peaceful serenity
And never the usual chaotic melody

Day by day the lies continue
And there's always another issue
I hide myself behind a mask
To appear as someone, else that is my task

To them I am too naive
And in god I try to believe
Under his faithful watch I pray
That I may get through this day

How is it I hold so much hate?
And am I really to believe that this is my fate?
As I am pushed to the edge
I wonder if I should just fall of the ledge

All the scars of my past
Have healed so fast
Am I really supposed to forgive and forget?
Am I to have no such regret?

They say there's a time and a place
So why this haunting face
My dreams turn to nightmares
And Im confronted by these dares

If this life were really my own
How would I be shown?
Im so used to being unseen
I cant even remember how I used to have been
