I wear this mask:
To hide my face in this ill-gotten place,
to protect myself in this see-through case.
I wear this mask:
To hide from your eyes all my tear-riddled cries,
which are brought onto me from your treacherous lies.
I wear this mask:
Saving my life from this murderous strife,
as I bleed from the cuts of this razor-edged knife.
I wear this mask:
It’s features quite plain,
while this torment inside is driving me sane.
I wear this mask:
To keep all fear inside,
all the love that I feel has rotted and died.
I wear this mask:
It’s helped me to see,
what matters in life will set you free.
I wear this mask:
Of this I decree,
that one day this mask shall be taken from me.
