A Heart So Frail

This isn't who i really am
Across my face, there's a veil
A veil that fool the world
Never had it fool my heart so frail

In the cruel world i live in
I'm left alone in the cold
I have to hide my within
Just like a confined soul

Living the cruel reality
Where i'm held to the ground
Where i must pretend who ain't me
Just to fit in the world beyond

I have a dream
So beyond my reach and power
Painful as it seems
Life is a dragging hour!

Doubt my fantasy would be reality
Doubt the cruel world would have sanity
Doubt they would have mercy
On this poor little me...
