What If I Took Off My Mask
What if I took off my mask
would you love it still
to you see the face that hides
behind it
what if I showed you the real me
would you stand to comfort me
or would you just stand there
and only stare
what if I gave u my emotions
to feel how I feel,
would you stretch out your hand
and help me heal?
what if I gave you an opportunity
to see through my eyes
to visualize what I see
and your ears to hear what I hear
tell me would you still be here?
I bet you wouldn't
because behind this smiling mask
is a sad face
and swollen eyes
flooded with tears
behind this mask
is a face nobody wishes to see
a person nobody wishes to be
and the cries nobody wishes to hear
tell me, if I showed you the real me
would you still be here?
