Welcome to the masquerade
Do you wear another face?
Paint me a smile, for I have none
Let my mask be brave.
Your words drip like poison
Knives slash my soul
You sneer and glare and leer
Bitter smile pulled tight.
I am the weird one
Not you.
I am the freak
Painted beauty chipped and cracked
My mask is chipped and broken
See my tattered soul
As my mask falls to the floor
Broken beyond repair
This is me
The true me
Let me leave this place
I don’t belong in the masquerade
So you can laugh when you look at me
My cracked and tattered smile
My mask gone with the wind
But I am the freak
I am
I am proud
So say what you want
But my smile is true
Paint my world with your bittersweet smile
See me fade from you
Your crystal world is cracked and flawed
Your beauty twisted in distaste
You see the world to be brought
With gold and silver jewels
Sorry but I won’t play by your rules
Not any more
So let us end the masquerade
This sad and twisted play
I am sick and tired of your games
And am off to find my way.
