Do you want the curtain off?

If I pulled off the curtain,

People would be horrified with what they would see.

The curtain would be slashed into shreds,

and they would question in what they believe.

If I pulled off the curtain,

the true me would come out.

Causing panic and chaos.

And a sea of victims all around.

If I pulled off the curtain,

my life would then end.

For I no longer have privacy

nor peace for what goes on inside my head.

If I pulled off the curtain,

your life would forever change.

For your mind cannot comprehend the truth it will face.

If I pulled off the curtain,

you would run for your life.

For I am running behind you, with a big rusty knife.

If I pulled off the curtain,

this sad story about my life would come to an end.

For no one would accept me, but that's cause this is the beginning to the end....
