I have masks for every feeling
They often save me from reeling
.
I must have done some wrong
Don’t know for how long i could be strong
I thought I cherished all I had
But I realise now that it was my bad
I was holding maybe too tight
Strangling, what I cared, with no respite
I have learned to pull back now
Hiding, what I used to share, anyhow
Now, I have masks for every feeling
They often save me fron reeling
.
I am lying here, crying under the moonlight
The lost moments find it easy to alight
I wish the sleep would come
the endless thoughts make me numb
What if I had done it differently
I might not have run into regret incidentally
I am counting the mistakes I made somehow
Maybe I am not guilty but they hurt anyhow
So, I have masks for every feeling
They often save me from reeling
.
I am not hiding under the plain sight
Still sometimes, I make the mistake, in spite
It’s a mistake to show your all
Nobody gives a **** in long haul
So I have started using these masks
Which makes hiding a less daunting task
I am now unlike the old me
Who used to let her feelings run free
That’s why, I have masks for every feeling
They often save me from reeling
.
I am lying here, hiding under the moonlight
Burying the moments that wish to alight
Sometimes the old me, still runs wild
Crumbling the walls I so carefully compiled
I often let her do as she wishes
then see her tumble down into pieces
I have seen her hope crush a million times
falling down after a hopeful climb
It’s the reason, I have masks for every feeling
They often save me from reeling
.
