The Mask of the Dunce

The mask I wear hides my face...

Protects all from the horror of me.

Hides how I'm feeling with such grace...

Makes it so that real me you can't see!

The mask I wear hides my emotions...

Hides everything I don't wish for you to know.

Protects the world from all my commotions...

Of this lost soul, torn to pieces, with no room to grow!

The mask I wear hides my very being...

Hides everything that I thought I was once.

Shows you the fake smile that you're seeing...

No time for tears... I wear the mask of the dunce!
