Drop the mask and let it crack

Don't pause to hear it thwack

Don't shed a tear for the broken thing

The tears it hid so long will sting

Don't hide though, any more

It's time to call your lions roar

Let the mask go

That isn’t you now, no

You are who you are

Smile or no, your pain is a proud scar

It's time to heal now

Not to heal them with your ok and unworried brow

Don't give a thought to the awful mask

It shouldn’t be such a task

Your smile was your addiction

Not anymore, know it was your affliction

It's ok to heal

Don't feel like it's to steal

The smile from another

That would be to smother

You
