These thought are always there,
They show that I do care;
Although I make them hide,
Sometimes I think I've lied.
I cave into myself, Not seeking any help;
But that is what I need
To be freed from my greed.
I want to fly away
To escape here someday;
But the future scares me:
What it brings if set free.
I hold to what i know,
Even when I should go
That's why something so small
Is what it takes to fall.
People hold out their hands,
But I look to other lands.
I'm trapped inside this hole,
The one I made alone
If escape could be near,
I don't think I'de hear:
I see only one way out;
And it ignores my shout.

Masks
When a smile is a frown
And a frown is a smile,
The eyes we must crown
For relinquishing wile,
When a laugh is a tear
And a tear holds no pain,
Will fear fear to fear
And fearfully abstain?
When the act is the truth
We've lied to believe,
And the fable in sooth
Is but a peerless weave,
When each mortal mistake
Is a tale and a song
And the scriptures are fake
Or perhaps they're wrong,
When the mind is the eye
That sees the outside
But shame, it's too shy
Of the tongue which has lied,
When the answers are easy
To the questions unknown,
Do you not feel queasy
Of how little we've grown?
When acceptance is feigning
For it
Literature
My Mask
Do you like it?
My Mask which hides my emotions
I think it's flawless
It's a sign of pure devotion
Towards you and your lies
What are you talking about?
Calling me expressionless
I can't be blamed for what this mask does
Without this mask I am defenceless
Against everyone and those harmful words
It's a form of protection
This blank smooth mask
It reflects other people's emotions
Fulfilling its task
Fooling me, fooling everyone
Now leave me as I hide
Go ahead, Run
While I can still control these destructive feelings inside
Run away before I show you the monster I've become
You haven't noticed
Since
I always
Wear
My Beau
Literature
My Mask
So many nights with the razor to my wrist
so many scars that turn and twist
showing the pain, hurt and deceit
each and every day, doomed to repeat
My facade has been built
I wear my mask, but with guilt
why is it so hard to break down and cry
it hurts too much, even to try
My true self hidden behind a wall
to climb, its much too tall
break it down slowly, chip it away
maybe I'll be free one day

I've been there felt that....and for reasons we grasp blaming circumstance as well as one's self. When really it's about discovering inner peace. Because once you arrive everything else sort of falls in place.
