Are you blind?
Can't you see
All this pain inside?
No
Of course you can't
But that's okay
This pain
Is slowly leaving
A real smile is forming
Masks slowly disappearing
Showing who this person
Really is
Happy?
Maybe
Time will tell
You speak your mind once again
Shrink me down
And down
And down
Put another mask on my face
Hiding me from myself
You try to help me
You say you want the best
Your definition of "best"
Won't be the same as mine
I will submit
I know I must
But trust me when I say
It might not be for the best
Pile on more hurt
To this damaged heart
Starting to heal
It is weak
We all know
It can only take so much
Before it breaks
