Ready and Action!
The words I hear today.
Waiting for a reaction.
As I take the stage.
My smile burns bright
But my heart hangs low.
Pretending to be alright.
To put on a good show.
I show you this mask.
The one you want to see.
It's not an easy task
To be who you want me to be.
The mask I wear everyday
It's slowly killing me.
At night when I lay,
Or should I say 'we'
I tell that side goodbye
No longer can I see.
My pillow is now soaked
Finally I fall asleep.
You never knew I broke.
That secret I'll keep.
It's the morning again,
Ready and Action
I will start to pretend
And be the attraction.
The mask on my face
Sits comfortable there
It holds its place
Never will it show ...
My despair
