"MASK"
Hiding behind this mask is where I lay
Behind its safe borders that I dare not betray
I refuse to give in and let it devour me as a whole
I refuse to hold on tight as I want to let go
I want to let it go
Release it all
Hope
Dream
Strength
Desire
It’s all gone
One day
One night
The only hope left is that they may come back
Turning right turning left
Feeling like a big mess
Don’t know where to go don’t know where to turn
Holding onto this mask that now won’t let me return
I hide behind something un-real
Something that’s not me
I hope that I can adjust
But its all just a dream
Hope
Dream
Faith
Strength
Desire
I lose it
Every day
Every night
It slips from my grasp
Slowly fading with my past hopes
My wishes all fall, my dreams
They all leave
Trickling away like a raindrop on a warm day
Dripping farther and farther from they sky
Which is where I lye
My strength is beginning to tire
Hope
Dream
Strength
Desire
Its fading away
Every day
Every night
I lose just a little bit with every fight
Tired of feeling like I am on my own side
As though my line has been drawn
and no one thinks I shall cross it
Thinking I am not going to move
As though my strength is grand
Grand is what I wish
Weak it what it is
I grab onto my surroundings wishing them not to move
This mask I have just refuses to not move
My Desire is starting to fade
Hope
Dream
Strength
Desire
Its beginning to run away
Every day
Every night
I no longer Desire at this point
I feel as though it is no longer useful
Trying to stride to the top
Trying to wish for the best
Hoping to stay within my zone
Hoping no longer does anything
Now pushed out of where I “Belong”
Hiding behind this mask is where I use to lay
Behind its safe borders that I was pushed to betray
I refuse to give in and let it devour me as a whole
I refuse to hold on tight as I want to let go
I want to let it go
Release it all
My Hope
My Dream
My Strength
My Desire
It’s all gone now away from me,
as they move the mask form my face
I see the new
And wish for the old
Changing and swarming nothing is right
Its all chaos and nothing is good
My life is changing
And this time its for good.
