Fear of Being Seen

Who is it behind that mask?

A face I've never seen

A reflection I have never known

For fear of being seen

You played your part that was a lie

You acted out the scenes

All along seeking to belong

For fear of being seen

You gauged yourself by others works

Your envy a new shade of green

You buried a treasure that's well beyond measure

For fear of being seen

You follow along just to get along

Though you don't understand what it means

You crave real connections with little exceptions

Except for your fear of being seen

You hide yourself day and night

Little peace of mind between

Who could ever comprehend

Your fear of being seen
