The Mask

The Mask

All I want is to escape this place,

Because everyday here just breaks me more.

All I want is to live in peace,

And find an eternal, happy cure.

 

I wonder if I'll ever find it though,

A way to get out of this hole.

I feel I'm being buried alive,

And no one cares for my wounded soul.

 

All I want is peace and happiness,

For myself and everyone around.

Is it too much to wish for?

To wish for a sweet, genuine laughing sound?

 

The silence is just too loud,

The winds are just too cold.

Is this what I signed up for?

To be in this dark abyss, till I grow old?

 

Will anyone ever get me out?

Will someone even try to hear?

For all I want is to live in peace,

And find someone who really does care.

 

Sometimes the noises get too much,

And I just want to drown.

In the dark silence of the world unknown,

And throw away the unwanted frown.

 

I long for the sweet times.

Will they ever come back?

Well, that's a stupid question, I know.

But sometimes, it's good to get off the track.

 

So I close my eyes for a bit,

Picturing, the carefree, real smile.

Sighing, yet again, I put on the fake smile once more.

The mask I took off for just a little while...
