Staying Hidden Behind Your Mask

By Sydney EssexPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

You are quite an actor, staying hidden behind your mask. The world doesn't see the real you drowning in your flask. Hats off to the performance, but now it’s time to go ahead and let out your rage. Uh oh, put it on pause, it’s time to go back on stage. You tell all these stories, you live all these lies, but I know the secrets hidden in your eyes. I know all the stories. You think think you can just hide. Getting everything done for you. Living on a free ride. Wait… Wait.. she did your makeup wrong, but before you begin the brawl. Smile, Smile, the Curtain is about to fall.
