Living In a Illusion

During day she wears her mask She plays along in the illusion Smiling, she ignores the pain She breathes, but knows she is dead She wishes she could be invisible Then she would at least have a reason for going unseen… What else can she do but act out her scene? But she has a dark secret When night falls and all are sleeping She breaks down and falls apart For deep down she knows she is lost Screaming for someone to sustain her But she knows she is trapped in a heartless world Unable to fix what is broken She cries herself to sleep, it’s her lullaby With each day that passes She falls deeper into the lies But the truth is… Slowly, she is slipping away
