My Mask

It's a simple task 
To put on a mask
You'll never see
The actual me
It's all inside
It's bound to hide
The way I feel
It can't be real
I play pretend
And be your friend
All you know
Is what I show
So maybe I'm lying
On the inside I'm crying
I'ts just a game
And I'm not the same
I wish I could change
And not seem so strange
