Once I was sad and lonely,
having nobody around to comfort me.
So I created a mask that always smiled,
just to hide my true feelings.
Once I had many friends;
with my mask, I was one of them.
Deep inside I still felt empty,
Like I was missing a part.
Nobody could hear my cries for help,
for I designed my mask to hide those lies.
Nobody could see the pain I was feeling,
for I hide my mask to keep on smiling.
Behind the smiles there were tears waiting
and behind all the comforts were the never ending fears.
While my tears where crying,
my feet kept walking.
My body was left behind,
to keep on hoping!
Day by day
I was slowly dying
I couldn’t go on,
I’m still searching
for the thing that’ll stop my crying,
for someone who’ll erase my fears
and for someone to wipe my tears.
But until then, I’ll keep on smiling
hiding behind the broken mask I’m wearing.
Hoping one day I can throw my mask away.
But until then, I’ll be here… Waiting.
