Every day I put on a mask,
No one knows and no one will ask.
What am I to you except a h**,
My true feeling may never show.
I wish that you could only see,
All the tears and pain you’ve caused for me.
Do you even know my name,
Or was I just a pawn in your game?
You never tried to find me,
Were we ever even a “we”?
My heart still lingers on us,
But my mind says please don’t fuss.
Do you know me from the inside, no,
I guess I put on a pretty good show?
Right now I need to forget you and heal,
And to be myself, for real.
I don’t know who is me,
I’ve been taught to be who everyone likes to see.
I just need to be alone,
So don’t call me on the phone.
I’ll find the real me on my own,
I don’t think I have ever been myself alone.
But I’ll find the real me…
Eventually.
I’ll take off the mask
That is many layers, a large task.
