Mask of Lies

By Mischevious Princess

Thoughts of giving up float through her mind.
She doesn't understand how it is that
They don't see her...
They don't acknowledge her...
They treat her as if she's something they can just walk through.

She cannot fathom how to live a life
That is not full of pain or regret.
A life where she matters...
A life in which she's more than a friend...

If only she could find that life...
Like she was in a movie...
One with a happy ending where she
wouldn't have to hide behind her mask of lies.

She's tired of acting like she's ok...
Especially when on the inside she's far from it.
Truthfully, she's so torn up inside,
you wouldn't be able to stand it if you knew.

If you only knew what she goes through
just to force a smile and a laugh.
