Masquerade

I smile through the pain,As I stand in the rain,No one would guess the horrors I've seen.The nightmare I'm forced to live,At the hands of a man,I should be able to trust.Subjects me to unspeakable actions,Into submission at the cost of my life.Everyone looking in could never tell,All the demons I hide beneath the veil.For I've become a master of disguise,To hide all my feelings of despise.For I prayed, I prayed to die,Only to wake and open my eyes.It seems I'm cursed, I cannot die.All I can do is watch life go by.While I'm stuck in eternal night,It's amazing what a girl can hide,When she lives behind a mask of disguise.
