EVERY MORNING
I WAKE UP
AND PUT ON FIRST THING
A MASK OF MAKEUP
I TRY SO HARD
TO DISGUISE MY SORROW
I WON'T FALL APART
OR LET MY TEARS FLOW
THE WORLD IS A STAGE
AND I AM THE STAR
I'M ON THE EDGE
'BOUT TO FALL SO FAR
I CAN'T LET YOU SEE
THE WAY I REALLY AM
YOU WON'T LOVE ME
IF I UNLEASH THE DAM
EVERY NIGHT I CRY
TO RELEASE THE HURT WITHIN
EVERYDAY I TRY
YOUR HEART I WISH TO WIN
NOW TO BE WITH YOU  
I KNOW I HAVE TO HIDE
ALL ABOUT ME THAT'S TRUE
ALL THAT IS INSIDE

Love is a tragedy
Friends never last
I fear the future
and regret the past

i like this alot..and i think alotta ppl hide behind makeup. it really sux that ppl have to do that and the way you describe it it sounds like u hide your personality too. and thats not kosher  i say try to just be yourself one day youll feel alot better

wow. thats a lot of how i act. im very afraid to let people get to know me, and i hide behind a lot of things, such as make up. every time i feel im about to cry, i tell myself, stoppit maryn, you cant let them see you cry. its weak. anyways, it really hit home with me. good job!

If you can't be yourself while being in love with a certain person then you shouldn't be in love with that person. You should be yourself.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I think a lot of people can relate to this, especally teens. We all have some sort of mask that we hide under, and we all have our parts that we play in life... but you shouldn't let the mask and the part become all people see of you. Hope you come out of that shell! Thanks for sharing.
