Faces of Fear

[onyxfiretear]

Pretending everything is ok
That is all I do anymore
If you were to look in my head
You would see all the death and devastation instead

I show you a pretty smile
I give you all the advice you want
Standing at your side
While all the time I am dying inside

Never rememebering the day before
It makes me wonder what I swore
Did I tell someone that I would do something
Then never held to my word?

I will never know
Since I can not remember
What you see on the surface
Is never what is going on below

Come play in my cobwebs of insanity
Get caught up in the hell I have to face
Each and everyday I rise
Wanting to die instead of breathe

Wearing of masks is what everyone does
But does anyone really take the time to remove them
To get to know the person under the mask
If they did, I don't think I would be me now

Mental illnesses are never fun
Especially when it is you that can not remember
Then you see the disappointments in the faces
Of the ones you love

Heart breaking and distributing
I fall to my knees pleading for help
Screaming for assistance
Yet my please are ignored

Perhaps one day
Someone will hear me
Before it is too late
And I am removed from this earth permanently

"Come play in my cobwebs of insanity
Get caught up in the hell I have to face

Wanting to die instead of breathe

Wearing of masks is what everyone does
But does anyone really take the time to remove them
To get to know the person under the mask
If they did, I don't think I would be me now"
