Straight face

Life is like a maze
People thinking it is a race
While I'm here thinking of ways to escape
Cuz i can't find my purpose and everything feels out of place, Many lives are put to waste but never think it is too late to get up and make right of your mistake
In this world full of perfect hypocrites
They will only treat you nice at first
So never forget to wear a straight face

# data[].attributes.body
Eve of the damned

Concealed within this mask of duality,
Pitch black; hiding is a perfect storm
From her tempest of a mind,
Is a lady beautiful and kind

As she tightens her grip to reality,
As she accepts the things how it should be;
You've been through the bad and the worst
Thinking our mere existence might be a curse,

The Eve of the damned is what she is,
A beauty, fighting life with her fists
Enduring everything, letting out a smile
The masquerade of her life going out in fire

Thinking positively
That's what they love about me
Always looking for the brighter side
Always have the will to fight.

They envy me for that
But they don't really know
It was just an act
A show

Truth is I'm not
I'm the exact opposite
I'm bothered about it
A lot

These emptiness and miseries I feel
This is what I conceal
With a mask of positivity
To all the people who surrounds me.

Hoping one day I'll be filled
Finally stopping this agony
Be genuinely happy
For the next life I'll rebuild.

Lights off, head down,
put my earphones on, try to forget this town.
There is no reason for me to remember,
Cause it'll only make me remember those days when we're together.

You are abusive,
I am a martyr.
You are the darkness,
I was never that light,
The light that can help you do things right.

The only thing that keeps me going now is this mask.
Well nobody even dared to ask,
Because all they can see is a woman with a big smile right from the start,
But little do they know this woman,
has a broken heart.

# data[].attributes.body
A girl wearing the mask

To hide cries and sighs

But is that the reason why?

Or just to pretend to be fine
Pretending to be happy
Pretending to be me
But it's just all lies

For how long do you need to hide?
Just to open your eyes
And to see the light from the darkness, you've been in hide.

# data[].attributes.body
A mask that covers me,
A mask that hides my Identity.
You see me happy,
But am I still worthy?
Wanna show the real me,
But nobody was there for me.
Feeling that I'm dying,
For the love and acceptance I was longing.
Nobody was there,
And nobody will be there.
I want to be loved,
But no one would care.

•The world is so healthy and I should not feel sore.
•So dont even try to make me believe that
•The people that I face everyday wish for my downfall for each triumphant roar.
•My dispositions
•Define
•These judgements and assumptions.
•And it can be true that
•The things that weigh me down often succeeds
•Because the devil laughs at my weakness from which he feeds,
•It is also true that abundant joy is still within my reach
•And
•It's all just the pretention of the soul.
•So don't you dare tell me that
•My domains will forever remain in dimmed saturated glow.
•Rainbows, may sometimes show
•Even though
•The society can forcefully silence your opinions.
•Because, the professor said that if you think about it,
•Happiness can be found even in the darkest of days
•Only when one remembers to turn on the light.
•So you'll never hear me say that
•The world is a hideous place to be.

I always had a mask that no one ever asked.
You always see me smiling,
but deep inside... I am really dying.
Everyday, I have always wished
For this pain to vanish.
But it never leave me.
Instead, it stayed beside me.

I am fond of concealing my feelings,
But also afraid of not fully healing.
I am sorry if I have been pretending,
But darling believe me,
my love for you is never-ending.
So please, stay beside me
And promise not to leave me.

It is hard to really tell you
The beauty of this man
For many simply find it
Too hard to understand
They laugh, they smile, and tease
As I describe...

# data[].attributes.body
Like a flying bird, I soar high,
Nonchalantly living a world full of lie,
Pulling positivity, pushing negativity
I try so hard, just to fight this world's complexity

Everyone sees me like a "somebody"
Little they don't know, I'm just a nobody
How could it be?
That the only thing they see, is not me in reality.

Funny how people perceive me being gay,
They create fake figures of my weigh,
And.... its okay, I thought.
Because I'm happy; not.

I am multiple
I am being called crazy by the people,
I scream while I cry,
I laugh and i get so high
I killed them with a smile
I am taken over
By a mask of uncertainty
Watch out for my duality

# data[].attributes.body
Look at that happy face with a bright smile
Which I can always see in you from a mile
That face of yours which makes my day
And your bright smile which can't take my eyes away
But what happened with that happy face with a bright smile?
It seems like it slowly fades away
That happy face with a bright smile
Turns into a gloomy face with a fake smile

# data[].attributes.body
There's something about the mask
That's giving me a task
Task for me to change
But im trap in a cage

How can I get out?
In my world full of doubts
People can be so critical
I'm talking about physical

When I get out and they see me
They'll laugh, I guarantee
It's not for me to change the game
It's the world there is to blame

# data[].attributes.body
Take it off

Take off that mask,
Take away that fake smile,
Take those and don't be shy.
Remember, that mask is a weakness.

Take off that mask,
That won't help you to survive,
Instead, face the world with courage.
Remember, without a mask there is no sign of weakness.

Happy?

I am happy that you're here with me,
Even though I'm not the one who's in your head,
Even though I am not the one you needed...
I'll still smile the fact that you are here, not with her.
But this smile, is it really real?
Is it the genuine happiness I should deal?
Or am I just trying to hide this fear?
The fear that once I'll show
Might be the reason for you to go.

Beneath

I am you but you are not me,
Living like a celebrity yet
Why do I feel empty?
Seeking for sympathy cause I'm lonely

I want to be free
Can someone help me
Afraid to face the reality,
Look what I have done to me

Outside I'm smiling
Inside I'm breaking
Can't stop pretending,
Your approval is what I'm  seeking

Look what I have become
Complete lost my freedom and heed from the shadow of a man
Free me I'm a masked one.

She's smiling bright like how the stars shine
Her lips is in an awesome curve line
Yet her eyes are telling the other way around
Because she lost happiness and is still not found
She is happy whenever she's with the crowed
She is perfectly wearing that mask and she's proud
Proud that nobody notices her glittering pain
For she want to keep others out of the vain

Lucky are those who doesn't need to pretend,
Those who are genuinely happy,
Those who can laugh their hearts out,
Those who appreciate themselves.
Lucky are those who doesn't need to wear a mask,
A mask that covers our flaws,
A mask that halts us from unveiling our true selves,
A mask that keeps me inside my shell.
If I'd stop pretending,
Will I be happy?
If I'd stop wearing this mask,
Would you accept me?

# data[].attributes.body
Pretender

The truth won't set me free,
For the lies are the ones' that kept hold of me.
I am ashamed for the things that I can do,
But no one will ever understand me and that is true.

You can curse me well I'll let you do,
But can't you see that I am just like you?
I lie, you lie, we all lie!
Why don't you stop pretending and take off that mask? They say.
I said no, because they don't even know how much this world have caused me pain.
