That Mask

_How long do you think you can keep it going?_

__

_That mask is slipping,_

__

_Slowly but surely._

__

_Those lies hidden by darkness are going to be revealed._

__

_Those insecurities that you think no one else has?_

__

_That mask is slipping,_

__

_And you’ll see the lies you’ve been feeding yourself,_

__

_The ones eating you alive._

__

_How many more sleepless nights?_

__

_Thinking of how your life will change,_

__

_Dreaming of the impossible, _

__

_It’s a drug, and you never want to leave it._

__

_But you have to._

__

_For your family._

__

_For your friends._

__

_For those who love you and can’t bear to see you hate yourself,_

__

_To see you kill yourself slowly._

__

_And it’s hard._

__

_But that mask is slipping._

__

_It’s slipping; and the truth?_

__

_You want it to._

__

_Need it to._

__

_That mask, who you were, it’s slipping._

__

_Don’t let it hold on. _

__

__
