I have a mask

I wear it every day,

During any errand or task.

Listen to me when I say:

"Pictures say a thousand words."

But those words mightn't be true.

I wear a mask

I wear it every day,

It makes me seem so nice and cheerful.

I pair it with a gentle voice

Just to make it more believable.

Convince them that this is the real me.

I have a mask

I wear it every day,

At nightfall the mask fades

And reveals the true me.

Around me are corpses, all pierced with blades.

Yes, this is me; happy, cheerful me
