The girl behind the mask is sad
This girl's heart is always bleeding
The girl is constantly weeping
She has been broken for long
Her inside have been burning
That girl behind the mask is hiding
Beneath the smiling mask
That she wears dusk to dawn
In the dark
She is crying herself to sleep
Her heart is shattered
Yet noone sees
The girl in the mask is a motivational speaker
Motivates everyone she comes across
Giving love to every one she meets
Providing solutions to everyone's problem
But the other version of her behind the mask
Has a million problems
Yet, no one to solve them
The girl in the mask sings in church
Her voice soothes many souls
Heals broken hearts
But the girl behind the mask bleeds
And hurts
Yet no one see her pain
The girl behind the mask is screaming
Her sound is failing her
She is sitting
In a middle of a crowdy street
But no one seems to notice her
That girl behind the mask needs help
She is waiting for you
To see her suffering
See beneath that plastic mask
Know that she is almost tired of holding on
And hold her hand
Hug her heart
And mend the broken pieces of her heart
Words from my soul
