Behind The Mask
I hide behind a mask.
 So I do not reveal
 my secret past.
 I have no faulty,
 but I have all the guilt.
 I've pawned, I've stole,
 and  I've sold, deep and
  dark possessions
 but I am not a cheat
  and I have never lied
 I simply did what I had
  to do to stay alive.
 I know what you think of me,
 I have a master in that degree,
 but what you see isn't always what it seems.
 I'm really  gentle and  kind.
 I'm young and divine.
 I'm no devil of the sorts,
 but that's people's reports.
 But nobody can see what's beneath.
 They fail to realize, I had to fight,
 I had to stay strong, wouldn't you
 if everything had gone wrong?
