We mask them
Hide them so well

To keep up the image
Whatever image we want to portray
Because that makes us “strong” in our minds
Looking the part of being put together makes us feel like maybe it’s true

Then we get out of the public eye
To our safe place
Where we fall apart

The glue lets loose
And all the pieces come crashing down
Piling up on the floor

All the doubt clouds our head
It’s enough to suffocate us
A battle that’s become so necessary
It’s like a part of us
But we wish it wasn’t
