Mask

I put on a mask to make you happy
but i can't show what i really feel
if you could see the real me
maybe my life would be easier
this isn't who i am
i'm being who you want me to be
this smile on my face is fake
i can't be in a mood i never feel
i can't turn something fake
into something real
i wear a mask so you can't see what's hidden
i wear a mask so no one can get deeper
i hide myself for the fear of judgement
i hide behind what you guys are making me
this mask is hiding everything you think you know
but one day, i'm ripping this mask off
and being who i want

Tough love

Every little thing I say seems to make you mad
Every single move I make you try to make me turn back
I could rip out my heart and give it to you
But I doubt that would even help the fact
Every single time we talk
Someone begins to yell

There’s pushing, shoving, hitting, marks upon my face
Can barely go out in public, I can’t hear what they’ll say
I try to make your wishes come true
But to you not hard enough
My heart says to let you go
But I figure it’s just tough love

I figure you’ll stop one day
I told it to your face
For standing up for myself
You’re pushing me towards the grave

In public you love me
You can’t stop the smile
When we are at home
You take your anger out

Why am I always wrong?
Why don’t you just leave?
Everytime I ask, you say
You love me

It’s lies, it’s fake, it’s pain
I suffer everyday
You take out the power you have
And lay in the bed I made

Are you done?
Can I go?
Is this not enough?
Do you really not care?

No, no,no, and no. it’s just tough love
