You see me smile But you don’t know what lies behind this mask that I wear You can’t see the scars that are hidden with my fancy worn clothes You can’t understand how many times I have cried under my pillow So that I may fake a smile in the morning You waked into my life Just as everyone else does You made me feel at home And together we were a family I thought that it would last forever But I came to know that forever is a term that only exist in my mind You later walked out of my life And just like everyone else You left without a goodbye I am broke inside Even though you guys think am strong Behind this mask Is a desperate, torn person Who has cried a million tears All through this years Trying to find a better version of myself

Behind the mask
You see me smile But you don’t know what lies behind this mask that I wear You can’t see the scars that are hidden with my fancy worn clothes You can’t understand how many times I have cried under my pillow So that I may fake a smile in the morning You waked into my life Just as everyone else does You made me feel at home And together we were a family I thought that it would last forever But I came to know that forever is a term that only exist in my mind You later walked out of my life And just like everyone else You left without a goodbye I am broke inside Even though you guys think am strong Behind this mask Is a desperate, torn person Who has cried a million tears All through this years Trying to find a better version of myself
Am on a quest to know who I am but I can't get the answers
