The Real Me Behind the Mask

It’s funny how I never noticed it before
but there’s someone under all the lies the lay before me
even though I don’t see it
fun, but with everything there is someone
No one know because of the mask I wear

My talent was there to make people happy
but because of one mistake I stop
the mask we wear keep the real us out
and let the one who we think people want to
see shine
until that one person break your inner beauty
Shine bright like the stars at night

Now because that light escape
the mask I once wear disappear
and the light begin to shine
more laughter, applause, happy tears were shed
and my heart once again shine bright to see
What more is there to come
