The Mask

I won’t be around.
I just can’t be found.
Threw away the mask that pulled me to the ground.
So how does it feel
When you look at yourself
When you see the skin covering up your face.
The stitches hurt
When the needles sting through your face.
The skin feels so cold.
Underneath your fake smile
So easy not to be yourself.
The hidden face is your escape.
I guess it kills you
To just face yourself.
When you’re feeling well
It’s only in your shell
And it’s me who stepped away. I kept my face.
You lost yourself.
(You’re) stuck to the ground.

The summer came for you
So beautiful (like every year).
The flowers in your hair
Is what brought you here
There’s water on your skin,
(that) the sun dries of.
And I,
I wish this never ends.
My dreams
Are not meant to stay.
And I laugh, just laugh,
I laugh my breath away.
Why can’t you stay?
My joy seems fake.
I’m gone. I ran away.
The flowers in your hair are dead and I’m gone.
I whisper in your ear,
You’re lost and all alone.
All alone.
Away.
