I always seem to hide my emotions
I wear a mask
Because it’s easier to pretend
Then show who I am
I am not popular
But I am not a loner
My friends don’t know the half of it
They think they understand me
Or can relate to me
I like to make people happy
Because then I don’t have to go back to reality
My friends, they don’t realize that half the time I’m with them I’m also in my own little world
So they will never get me
Because I will never trust them enough
To understand why I wear a mask
