Everybody wears a mask
That hides the unseen
So people can’t see us bleed
My mask is decorated with a smile
That can light up the world
Expect mines
My unseen is an illness
That destroys from the inside
Never out
It’s like playing Russian roulette
Never know when I might be out
My mask is beautiful and light
But my soul is trapped with no way out
So while you smile and laugh
At my natural deadly humor
I cry and scream for
hypotension and Iron deficiency to let me out
Or maybe my hypothyroidism
Will revolve into cancer
And my mask will finally crack
And I will be out
Walking the stairs to heaven
To see Earl and Ronell
With their arms out
I just wanna be free from my mask
