Me

I wear a mask
I act tough (it’s a good defense)
’Cuz I don’t want to get hurt.
If only somebody would see through my mask,
Then they will see that I’m not so tough
Or cruel or cold-hearted.
I need friends
But real friends I have none.
My life is just a façade.
I am a hypocrite
I hide behind my mask,
Behind my defense of being tough
Just because I am a coward.
I am afraid to let you know I’m afraid
- of Life, people, reality –
Of everything.
