Memoire Of A Survivor

Am I that good of a liar
Or do you just not want to see
With your words you're hurting me.
You don't spend a thought
On how I might feel,
On what might be wrong
Because in your mind
It appears, nothing's going on.

But in mine there's a war
It's been raging for years,
Some battles I won,
But for every one of those
There are more which I lost.
You can't see my scars
And you can't see my pain,
I wear my mask, it's all the same
- but tell me, did you never know
When I laugh, it can't reach my eyes,
This mask of mine is built of lies?

If you don't want to see its fine,
This pain, all of it is mine,
I don't want or need for you to fight,
Take part in the war inside my mind.
I'd never ask for any thing, only one
And that's to look me in the eye
When telling me you were wrong.

I fight my battles on my own,
Have done so time and time ago
I'm broken and pretend I'm whole,
But that's the only lie I've told.

I did survive again and again,
But there must be more,
This can't be the end.
I don't want to survive anymore,
I want to be free, to live, explore.
