Okay so this isn't my poem. Quote me on this one.. "I take no credit for this song. All the credit goes towards the artist who wrote it." Reason why I'm posting this is because I feel this song goes so well with me its scary. The song is called Charade by Amanda Falk.
Another day, paints on the face
That they expect to see
It's not all I want, but it's all I've got
To make this world believe
Nothing's wrong with me

I'm an artist of emotion
A master of deceit
And the many faces I portray
Are nothing at all like me
How I long to be free

From this never ending maze
Oh my head's in a daze
Every time I think
From this overplayed charade
Oh my heart's gonna fade
And I can't go on

It's a tug of war, each moment
To hide this pain inside
Or to open up and spill this cup
Of feelings that I hide
But what will people do
And what will people say
When they hear the truth will they turn and run away
Will they throw a stone or lend a shoulder to lean on

It's not fair, I can't take this anymore
All these tears have drifted me to shore
Is there hope for someone just like me?
And I hear a voice inside me say
"I can set you free"

From this never ending maze
I will be your strength
If you let me lead
So just, take my hand and see
If you follow me
You can be free

~Hope you guys enjoyed this just as much as i did.~
