The Mask I found this mask that hid reality So I took it, put it on, and stopped being a nobody The mask became my friend One that granted me a smile that's nothing but pretend It made it seem like I was living a perfect life, with perfect friends, and perfect grades A perfect girl who loves and aids But beneath the mask I started losing my mind Walking closer to that cliff, yet the people are blind The mask is not my friend, it's hiding my true emotions It makes me feel so far away from my family, like I'm on the other side of the ocean Pull me out of this raging fire, and with all respect I must ask Why can't I take off this stupid mask?
