I look through my papered eyes;
I try to define the reason I hide.
These tears I cry, aren't falling,
I force my frown to disappear;
through my painted smile.
You continuously ask if I'm okay;
Over and over.
You think you're helping;
helping to tear away,
My strong paper mache face.
No one understands me,
I feel so empty, so frail --
So -- -- FAKE
Slowly, soon, someday, I'll tear away;
This safe, warm, knowing mask of mine.
Soon, Maybe, Hopefully, I'll get to see the real you too;
And together -
We'll trash our security blankets,
We call our masks.
Maybe, together, we'll show our vulnerable selves.
So take my hand,
And take a leap.
Untie your strings
And
Smile for me.
