This reputation at school
They were cool
I was just their tool
They were cruel
I still think I am a mule
I am just a fool

We don’t care what it takes,
The struggle makes us strong.
Forget the all fakes,
We are where we belong.
Our mistakes,
Are they truly wrong?
When it all breaks,
We have to be headstrong.

I have one task,
I have to wear the mask.
Everything you see,
Isn’t really me.
Behind the mask are the tears,
Behind the mask are the fears.
Meant to be sad,
Meant to be bad.
My mask is designed to laugh,
But it is only half.
But I will smile,
hopefully it isn’t vile.
But, first I got to teach my heart to feel,
I need to know that I am real.
