Monster Inside

My mask is my sanity

The thing that holds my smile

It hides all my sadness and anger

And I feel alright for a while

•

But sometimes I slip up

I get caught off of my guard

Revealing all my pain

And just how much I am scarred

•

I try to cover it up

With my already cracked mask

But it doesn't always work

It doesn't match for the task

•

There has been too many eyes

That have seen me fault

They found out what lyes behind

My supposedly strong vault

•

Behind is something visous

Something no one wants to see

And yet people try to find it

As if they want to let it free

•

If I kept it hidden for so long

Then it's bound to be in bad shape

Bruises, bumps, scrapes, and scars

The mask would have been easier to tape

•

But now it's out

There is no reverse

The beast is out

And that is your curse

•

There will be no mercy

Only suffering and pain

But which side is innocent

And who is to blame

•

I have made mistakes

And so have you

Forgiveness is not an option

No, today you will rue

•

No pity remains in you

You only fear what's behind

And that is why I keep hidden

The monster inside
