I hide behind the mask day by day

I pretend never to care what others say

I have a story , a story ive never told

A short story that i made my heart and soul hold

I am about to tell the world about the real me

The me that i refused for years to let other people see

I am a girl with a helpful heart,

A girl i should have never let fall apart

Ive been through so many horrible things in life

I never could figure a good way to escape my pain

Holding it all in was bad, it started to make me go insane

I fell to my knees and ask god to help me through this obstacle course

I knew just then god was my escape , my powerful force

I began to pray and pray

I learned to do this everyday

I fought the devil and his way

I avoided doing bad this by just be strong and pray

I made new friends at school

I really didnt care that I was "lame" and not "cool"

These friends know the real me

They see the good side that my other friends didnt see

I dont have to wear this ugly mask anymore(makeup)

Im leaving my mask at the devils door

I want to tell the world to be who god made you to be

To touch your OWN inner mystery

cause guess what world? this is the real me
