Façade
An illusion, an act, a cloak to hide everything
My world is like a maquerade, you can't tell what's underneath the surface
Underneath this mask is something you'll never get to see
I place veil over my thoughts, feelings and emotions
No one really knows anything deeper than the front I put up
Affcted bliss, determination, and strength is what I have to offer
Not everything is what I make it appear to be
The walls too high to climb, no one makes it over, being pushed away before they even had a chance
It's not all on purpose though, this façade is just way too big to knock down
I've tried time and time again, but the walls only get higher,
The mask only gets bigger
And the veil becomes less and less sheer
I am incapable of vulnerability
It gets lonely, but my pride is at stake
No one can see what I'm hiding, the risk is too high
This façade protects me from wandering eyes
