Put on a mask to hide all the pain you feel Hide your need for love, affection and caring embrace Instead focus on the man with all the imperfections Don't let people know that your world is about to shatter Your world shatters with every incident Yet you block it out of your consciousness You tell yourself that he loves you, that his past mistakes are over But in fact, they gnaw at your like a blood thirsty mosquito You lead everyone to believe that your life is great That the man you love is wonderful But sister, I know too much now, my heart aches for you You cry, but no one hears your muffled cries, but I Oh, I long to put my arm around you, and comfort you And let you know that this asshole is not worth your time Too many men have hurt me, but it has nothing to do with me Don't give up, all your sisters love you, we want to help you Why does everyone put on a mask? Is this the one skill in which I haven't learned? Do I need to learn? Is it necessary for survival? If surviving means that I put on a mask, and push others away then, no thanks, I don't want to be lonely without shelter or love I want to be true to myself and others And the day I succomb to the pressure of the mask, is the day that I completely lose myself. |
