I am made of lies...


I am made of lies
Stretched over my frame
Hiding my skin
Hiding my soul.
It reflects what you want to see
Not reality.
It is a television screen
Showing false beauty.
It provides me safety
Never daring to reveal
Myself to the world.

Protected from the taunts
Of thosse who believe to be better
Than myself.
If I remove this facade
You will see truth
The ugly truth.
To lose these lies
I lose part of myself
Do I still know who I am?
But wait.
Haven't we all got something to hide?
Can we destroy every lie ever told
Every mask ever worn?
Can we come together as one
Tear down barriers
Build eachother up
Make me whole again.
