Behind the Mask

I hide the pain behind this mask
All the sorrow and the sadness
Hidden from view
Behind the mask
I feel safe

I hide my face behind this mask
Happiness, sorrow, anger
Some of the emotions you'll never see
Behind the mask
I can't be frightened

I've always hid behind this mask
Never letting anyone know
Who I am or what I'm like
Behind the mask
I am alone

I won't hide behind this mask
I don't want to be alone
I want to show my emotions
Behind the mask
I am a prisoner

I no longer hide behind the mask
I've opened up to the ones around me
I freely laugh, freely cry, and freely live my life
Behind the mask
I was nothing

Never hide behind a mask
Listen to my words
Be open, don't keep yourself away
Because behind a mask
You will never truly live
