Dancing In the Rain

Dancing in the rain
Where raindrops mask tears of pain

Just a lonely fool alone
So used to feeling like a stone

Faking smile after smile
It's so very draining after awhile

This plastic personality
For dealing with reality

The rain carries it away
On a somber day

Perhaps invisible nobody can see
That beneath the masquerade is the real me

Dancing in the rain
Where raindrops mask tears of pain
