Disguise Mask

Though outwardly I seem to put on 
or display a Cheshire cat like grin

Does that represent what I actually
in realty do feel inside 

Or have I rather just become impervious
to hiding my interpretation better

Knowing that not either I nor anyone
else 

Gives a damn wishes to know or even
would be bothered enough to care anyway

The only 1 true fundamental difference
if we take the time to read in between
the lines 

Is though we may in fact be able to on 
the outside outwardly disguise and
pretend to smile and act happy

We simply cannot do the same take 
or make the pain disappear or go away 
that we feel on the inside 

Because the only thing that matters
in the end after all and really counts

Is what is on the inside looking out
not the facade we choose to put on

All depends on whether or not you are
willing to sneak a peek behind the
curtain

Or simply rather prefer not to know what
the show was inspired by what it takes to
make it or in regards to
