You hide the marks.
You hide the pain.
You try to lie.
Exxcuse the stain.
You act so strong.
You build a wall.
You try to hide
It from them all.
You try to say
You never burned.
Try to say
You you never turned.
But by words
Or by a blade
You cut your heart.
Your colors fade.
The pain, it builds.
The scars, they stay.
The memories
Don't go away.
So don't try to pull on
A mask to hide within.
Show the whole world
Your tortured skin.
Show the ones
Who also wear
Their guilded masks
To hide what's there.
Don't try to hide
Just to blend.
Into the world
You must descend.
