Hidden beneath the mask,

An escape from my past.

To hide from,

To run from,

All that try to find me.

What they precieve,

It is not truly me.

They only see the carefree girl,

A smile that could last,

For a very long while.

Underneath the mask,

Lies all the troubles,

The troubles that haunt me.

All the while, 

They only see me smile.
