Beneath the Mask

There's a war inside my head Between an Angel and a demon The Angel says I'm doing good The demon keeps on screaming. Your doing better than you did. No! You need to try much harder! I dunno who's right just don't let me End up like my father. My chest begins to tighten And there's a pain in the middle Its hard to catch a break when your Brains scrambled like a riddle. Am I really good enough? Or just Somewhere in the middle? The thoughts inside my head play My depression like a fiddle. Some days I feel dazed Out of place and my body numb. Hoping those I love are somewhat Proud of what ive become. Sometimes I need to cry but the tears never seem to run. I just wanna be But the pains rooted so deep I just need a light that can wake me From this sleep. Can you guide me away from the peak. Take me to safety so I can finally be In peace.

Hello. This is very expressive with emotion beyond words. Allow me to let your words stands. There is nothing I could ever add. We have all written o the mask at one time and this is a nice version and intake that is powerful. Well done in its entirety.
