I am the same as everyone else

just another face in a crowd

hidden behind a mask of lies

a disguise

concealing my true self

in hazy shroud

I'm doing fine, until I see the look in your eyes. 

They're cold, and dark, and filled with despise. 

But I can see the façade you're playing.

I can see it in your fingers, 

Picking up your books when they’ve fallen

Helping kids with their homework

Volunteering wherever they can

I should have known it was fake

They lift off the mask 

And there is no person behind it

Everyday

I wish

For something to be different

Everyday 

I hope 

But it never changes

Everyday

I have

Don’t worry, my queen

No one is betraying you

Don’t worry, my queen

Nobody hates you

Don’t worry, my queen

Your subjects are loyal

For some people, putting a mask on is a horrendous thing. You’re masking yourself, in favor of another, of course it’s bad, right? 

if all you do is wear a mask,
you become a mask.

your individuality drains away,
and you become a shadow of others.

yourself is an illusion
you are only a copy.

Once upon a time, a boy loved a girl.
