I put on this mask and stow away
From all the insults and remarks
To the mistakes I make
When I fail and get shoved down
And when I succeed but still pushed down
My heart aches when told these things
Even though I know I'm to blame
The way I dress appears careless
Though I try my hardest
My smile hides my pain
While inside I tear myself apart
I've mastered hiding my true feelings
And placing fakes upon my features
As I hide my pain and my discomfort
I try to help the others I see
Maybe they can make me feel more secure
If I help them feel better
I feel this way for reasons unknown
And see things deeper than what they mean
Maybe I'm just hopeless and lost
Or maybe I'm not fit for being here
