The mask is off
Pity
That's what you gave me
You treat me like glass
I'm not broken

The mask is on
Normal
That's what you are
You talk to me without sadness
I'm not broken

I don't need your pity
It's what pushed me over the edge

The mask is chipped
The painted smile fades
The eyes are covered
The tears are hidden
The mouth is shut
The cries are muffled

My smiles are fake
My mask is tight

And it won't come off
Those who wear masks
Know when a smile is fake

I try to sleep
I don't deserve it
I try to eat
I don't deserve it
I try to speak
I don't deserve it

I can see their pain
They don't deserve this
I did this to them
They don't deserve this

I watch the blade
I deserve this
I feel the pain
I deserve this

Pain is all I need

If you saw my eyes
You would know what I am
I'm broken
I'm scarred
I'm scared
I'm losing myself
I'm all alone
If you saw...

It's all I feel
Just, empty
My smile is fake
The tears are real
My laugh is hollow
My love is void
Just empty
It's all I feel
It makes me wonder
Are you empty too?
It's all I feel.

My eyes are so heavy
The monster is wide awake
I can hardly move
Its tail lashes back and forth
My head hurts so much
The claws are wrapped around me
My stomach is so empty
The monster is full
This  feeling inside
The monster calls to me
This monster inside
No
This monster that I am
It lives with me
It can die with me
I can hardly stay awake
It's getting tired
My body won't move
It's getting slower
The hunger is so painful
It's getting hungry
The feeling inside
It's pulling me in
But the monster won't let it
This monster that I am
No
This monster that we are
Maybe it isn't so bad
Just maybe
Maybe, just maybe...

I just wanna sleep
I can't focus
The words in my head swirl and dance
The teacher keeps talking
I keep drawing
When the bell rings the cycle restarts
I'm stuck in hell once again
... Why did I write this?
