As I lay in this bed,
with my face uncovered
will any body see?
Its hard for me to say.
When i wake up for school
i put on my mask.
The smile that everyone loves to see.
Does anyone see the real me?
Could I trust in someone enough
to let them see what is kept hidden?
I've tried to uncover
but no one will discover
what needs to been seen
They see the physical pain,
that has left me scars over the years.
I doubt that anyone will
even know my emotional ones
my family and friends think
they know me but I'm just hiding inside.
Outside I'm always happy
nothing can keep me down
Inside I'm a helpless child beaten by fear!
I'm afraid of what might happen
if i ever let people see.
That is why there's no me but a mask that keeps me hidden.
