Happy Masks & Lying Mirrors

Everyone is fooled by the happy mask I wear no one ever really sees the heavy burden that I bare People never notice The scars that taint my skin Nobody truly cares about The demons that live within Nobody sees... The blood that drips from my hand Why are you so confused??? Don't shun me cause you don't understand I am just a quiet sheltered child Trapped within a tortured mind While my soul is slowly strangled By the contsraints that keeps my blinded What does the mirror show you? That it does not show to me All I see is despair and ugliness At what I cannot and will never be Does your mirror truly lie to you? Or do you lie to yourself and them Are you so scared and weak You can't admit from where they stem Nobody sees... The blood that drips from my hand Why are you so confused??? Don't shun me cause you don't understand I am just a quiet sheltered child Trapped within a tortured mind While my soul is slowly strangled By the contsraints that keeps my blinded The lies come from you You are no different from me I am just twisted and strong enough To acknowledge what I really see How are you happy being so weak???
