The skin is our only layer or armor
Hard to believe
Because it is so delicate
A smile is a rebellion
From the emotions of the heart
You walk through life
Wearing a mask on the streets
And come home to a broken smile
That has been hiding behind your lips
Will your problems ever be solved?
When will your self-hatred come to an end?
No one can help you
You are alone
You are not pretty
What are you thinking?
Put on your mask
Dance among the stars
Just to come home
To cry about the scars
You are not your only enemy
As everyone wants to say
That **** is just fantasy
Everyone gets in your way
You are a reflection of the negativity to come
So prepare yourself
And cover all you have to hide
Again and again
It never goes away
