No Mask

Betrayal comes in many forms Many ways, different days How can I act normal when deep down I’m not okay How can your actions show something different with my presence How could you dare deny me Sometimes there’s no mask needed When your actions are on display Crazy how it seems so hidden When it’s directly in my face Such a burden to such a strong soul How could they do you so bitter and cold How do you fend for yourself When you have yet learned from the past A tender heart within your grasp Show me more than you can tell Words mean nothing when your actions show different Tell me could you last if you was in my position I hold no one to that standard A standard of being all alone Tell me how could you dare betray someone who’s been there all along These masks seem to be half worn Worn whenever you seek help I show my complete self Maybe I should mask up so you can get a taste of how it feel One day you’re gonna suffer as much as I did From a innocent child to a kid I hold no remarks no shame and no lies Til you feel what I feel you will always wear this disguise
