I don masks to disguise the pain I carry Because I need no one to worry The pain is secure behind my eyes I can never let out this darkness I hide And when I am alone,I watch my blood slowly leak away Atleast it helps keep life's true horrors at bay I pull down my sleeves to cover up my hurt I hear approaching footsteps,shouldn't I be alert? However, the real me ends up buried inside where no one can see When i can fool everyone else,why can't I fool me?

Masks!
