Behind The Mask (Slam)
Location
You think you know me
all too well
But in reality
You don't know me at all
You don't know the real me at all.
Behind the fake smile
You would find a million tears
I cried.
A Fatherless child on her knees
begging to be seen and heard
From a ticking time bomb to laying on the floor wishing it would end.
My life a living hell.
Yet I act like everything is fine.
Behind the mask
You find many battle scars
from what life threw at me
Many were bitter defeats.
Did you know I had Bulimia?
Did you know I tried Suicide?
Did you know I used to cut myself?
Course you didn't.
You were busy putting me down
You were busy telling me how selfish I am for trying to reach for help.
DAMN IT I'M HUMAN!
You expect me to be a perfect daughter
God Damn It I'm not perfect
I'm trying but trying is not good enough for you.
Look into my eyes into my heart
Do you see a perfect heart?
No you don't my heart has
been shattered for many fucking years.
How do you like me now?
The real me is a passionate poet and musician with a lot of love to give.
I'm not the doll you expect me to be.
I'm Only Human.
