Faces of Loneliness

The face of loneliness is hidden by a mask A mask of smiles and laughter What can not be seen by the naked eye only few know That the face of loneliness is bottled inside The face of loneliness can take many shapes From the shy girl in the corner To the one with the most friends The least suspecting people are just the ones who hide it the best The face of loneliness banging to come out But you keep it trapped inside of you like a prisoner A prisoner locked in a small, dark room You keep it in for so long you don't know what's true The face of loneliness is hidden by a mask A mask that very few can see past But when one sees past it and opens up what no one else has The face of loneliness is cracked Like a mirror shattered on the floor And you don't feel so lonely anymore
