The person we are and the people that we want to be are two different things, this is something that i think every body does, hides behind their "masks".
She sits there with makeup on but no destination
Applying the face that she wants to be seen by others
Afraid that if she smiles her mask that shields her might crack
Sometimes she knows that the makeup will fail her
It will disappear and make her become the person she really is
She has not done anything that is bad; bad enough she would need to hide
Its just she doesn't like the person she is inside
Shy and alone, sad and depressed, these are words that have been in her life forever
This is what the mask hides; this is why she needs the shield
Being in the life that she has become accustomed to
Living and breathing in the same space everyday can make you see things differently

MASKED BEHIND THE PERSON
Beautiful in the stillness of her imageShe sits there with makeup on but no destination
Applying the face that she wants to be seen by others
Afraid that if she smiles her mask that shields her might crack
Sometimes she knows that the makeup will fail her
It will disappear and make her become the person she really is
She has not done anything that is bad; bad enough she would need to hide
Its just she doesn't like the person she is inside
Shy and alone, sad and depressed, these are words that have been in her life forever
This is what the mask hides; this is why she needs the shield
Being in the life that she has become accustomed to
Living and breathing in the same space everyday can make you see things differently
