The Box

“THE BOX”
                                       By:KIDD

           (For all the men who’s too scared to tell)

The lies i say 
I put it all on a box
Wherever i stay
They won’t act like i lack

I am not me outside
But feel free when alone
It shows up what i hide
When i take off a mask that is on

I wish i could tell
And still be the same
My life’s like a carousel
Nothing more but a game

They won’t know that I’m gay
Cos they will leave me i swear
That’s why the lies that i say
Is the mask that i wear

It’s much safer this way
For no one will get hurt
God must’ve built me on a clay
With a special kind of dirt

Still i see myself unique 
In my very own special way
I’ll be kind, warm and sweet
Won’t be wrong that I’m gay

still I’m careful for what i say
Cos i still hide like a fox
I could just lie to them everyday
And just put it all in a box

                                                                 - KIDD
