Masquerade

by Sara   Mar 24, 2007


I can't show you that side of me
You wouldn't want to see
The side that is withering away
The side that is nobody

You like me as I am
Independent, unafraid
But that's not really me
It's all a masquerade

I smile so I won't cry
I laugh so I won't scream
I play so I won't fight
All so you think I'm happy

But did you ever notice
When I laugh and smile and play
I'm momentarily happy
But the pain will never fade

I'm sure that you don't understand
How you could be so wrong
I was never really happy
But I fooled you all along
