A Thick And Ugly Mask
I float through the halls like a wandering ghost
My footsteps are echoing, louder than most
I am weighed down with hurt, misery and pain
For all them devils I have long since slain
Have come back once more to haunt me
And I know they won't leave until they see
My blood trickling from the wound in my heart
Only then will they have done their part
My plight is wordless and I suffer in silence
Yet stalked by pain and blood and violence
The salt of my tears stings my cuts
And the gateway to happiness shuts
All believe the fake smile plastered on my face
While I remain caught in Hell's tight embrace
For them to notice would be too much to ask
So I cover it all with a thick and ugly mask
This is dedicated to you, Sophie, because of how much help you've given me. You support me always, even when I'm not right there. I'm here now, and yet you're still a great friend. I love you!
