Pretend

I am not who i pretend to be
This mask that i wear is painted on
These onlookers can no longer see
The girl inside who lies beneath

Her ruby smile unreaching her eyes
A shadow of sorrow is unseen
Invisible wishes never fly
This frozen heart starts waiting to die

Her laughter plays to an empty crowd
Listening to only what they hear
Poor lonely girl, unclaimed she is now
Chiming bells of her hell ringing loud

I am not who i pretend to be
Inside my mask i am never free
Every part of me isn't me
Wilding screams stealing, i cannot breathe

Pray for me
