Once upon a time
He called himself
“He”
Not to hurt her

She called herself
“She”
Not to hurt him

That’s how
The story began
That's how
The story ended

Time, back then

Under the sky
Where light shines
Shadows are cast
Time passes
But all you see is
simply the smile
covering the truth,
From those
weak in the mind
and the ones
who won't care

Earth turns and turns
Spins and spins
Season comes and goes
but yet to be seen
Burn away the mask
and see me
for who I am

And the irony is,
Those who ask themselves every day
Which mask to wear,
Are the ones who want me to be real.

Put on your little fake mask,
Don't let them see you stumble,
Fall.
No.
No you can't

Flashes of White,
Flashes of Red,
Which will you chose?

Put on your little fake mask,
No need for them to worry,
All they know is who you are,
Up there,
On stage.

So don't show them,
Don't show them you're broken,
Lost,
Hurt.

That's not who you are after all,
Put on your little mask.
This is about idols coming up and performing on stage, no matter how tired they get. I saw a performance of a band and they were all doing good. But in backstage, they were all SO tired. It was heartbreakimg seeing how much effort they put but how tired they really are.

Its okay to cry
they say
again and again
But no matter how many times I hear it
it never feels true
Because I can't show that vulnerable
part of me
This raging salty storm within
gets caught in my throat
and words cannot form
So I grit my teeth
clench my fists
and paint my flesh with bruises
Anything to make it go away
anything to keep the tears
swimming in the depths of my eyes.
