Masks
I can walk around happy
With a smile and everything
But
Is that what you want?
No
Acting isn’t good enough
You want honesty
You want me to be genuine
Well know what
This is me
I’m no pretty face
I’m no model
I’m me and I hide it
Because the truth is too hard to bare
You want the truth to be
Pretty, pleasant
And in your control
But the truth is harsh
The truth is cruel
The truth doesn’t care for anyone
The truth is fact
It has no feeling
It has no mercy
It doesn’t ask for your permission
You’re not worth it’s time
The truth lives by its own rules
It has no sovereign
No home
No family
It just is
