Mask of Pain

She calls it like she sees it
No matter how or when or where
And everyone else hates her
Because she doesn’t care
She goes through life a bull
Trampling all in her path
Those who do not hate her sight
Tremble at her wrath

Mask of anger
Hide the hurting
Hide the scars
And play the game
Mask of strength
And callus roughness
Masquerade
To hide the pain

All around her they are shouting
Saying why don’t you go away?
She is hurting, but she pretends again
Her eyes are darting this and that way
So she lashes out, she fights back
It’s the only way she will survive
Only when she is alone
Will she allow herself to cry

Mask of anger
Hide the hurting
Hide the scars
And play the game
Mask of strength
And callus roughness
Masquerade
To hide the pain
