My Mask

Today you cried
Yesterday you laughed
I'm really sorry
I tried my best

I sit alone here in this shade
I sit here, playing my own little game
I think and think
And wonder when

When my mask will come crashing in
I can not smile
I can not laugh
All I can do is wait for my life to pass

I want to learn
I can't cry
I can only try

I don't know what to do
I may think
I won't expect
I know now not to wait for you

I want to take it off
I want it to go away
I want to show those basic emotions
I want to show them everyday

If I asked, would you help me?
If you could, would you change me?
Though I can speak and I can hear
You are nowhere to be seen

I can't run
I can only hide
I can't even escape
This fucked up thing
I call my life

If I ask
Will you come to my side?
Will you stay with me?
Until I died

I'm sorry for wishing for so much
All I need now
All I want
I wish to show how.

How I feel and what I think
I want them to know just what I know
I want them to feel my pain

I know that's not possible though
And that I can't change the past
So please just help me now
Help me rip off this goddamn mask
