"The Lie I hide behind"

Smoke and mirrors up and down

Don’t you hear that haunting sound?

The sound of truth, rings in your ears

All your little doubts and fears

A mask is what you hide behind

Fearing what people might come to find

Hidden behind this fake disguise

One day the truth will rise

The Curtains of life grow with time

And so does this secret of mine

This passion deep in my soul

Slowly becomes my only goal

My dream to be this movie star

Hands stretched wide and far

Hide behind this mask I made

With perfect silence I will fade

Become a person I never was

because time will never pause

To wish upon this dream of mine

Only when the stars allign

Behind this mask, i am uncertain

only a slam behind the curtain

It's nothing but a lie

I must ask before I wave goodbye

Who am I?
