Behind The Mask
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
