The Masquerade

I'm tired of this masquerade,
This living of a lie.

I must confess,
Lift this weight off my chest.
I'm a fool, a fraud, a sham.

I'm hiding behind a forever-grinning mask,
That's only pretty at first glance.

Look underneath my clever disguise,
Do you like what you see?

The scars so deep,
Leaving me disfigured.
