Sometines the hardest thing to wear is your own skin ~Jayy Von Monroe<br /> <br /> &quot;Be real, because a mask only fools people on the outside. Pretending to be someone you&#039;re not takes a toll on the real you. And the real you is more important than anyone else.&quot;

smiles and laughs
sobs and tears
covered with a mask
the truth revealed

truly in love
a broken heart
held together by a smile
torn apart

unable to leave
unable to stay
i'm great!
im not okay

two sides to a paper
two sides to me
two sides to a door
to see the other you need a key

a key to my trust
a key to my fears
a key to a chance
to end all my tears

you found a key
and opened me up
seeing the mess
you just sewed me shut

too much to handle
too muchto deal
you're not to blame

still i beg
at your feet i kneel
hoping you know the words
to make me feel

every one wears a mask to hide their true feeling. they want someone to see through the mask though, and save them.
