Masks
I can walk around happy 
 With a smile and everything 
 But 
 Is that what you want?
 No
 Acting isn’t good enough 
 You want honesty 
 You want me to be genuine 
 Well know what 
 This is me 
 I’m no pretty face
 I’m no model 
 I’m me and I hide it 
 Because the truth is too hard to bare 
 You want the truth to be 
 Pretty, pleasant
 And in your control  
 But the truth is harsh 
 The truth is cruel 
 The truth doesn’t care for anyone 
 The truth is fact 
 It has no feeling 
 It has no mercy 
 It doesn’t ask for your permission 
 You’re not worth it’s time 
 The truth lives by its own rules 
 It has no sovereign 
 No home 
 No family 
 It just is
