The Masquerade Ends

I was imprisoned for my rage, for all of my anger
It was your lack of love that made me your stranger
What am I to do, being raised with an empty heart
I've nowhere to run with this heart covered in scars
I can't escape, I never could, you made that certain
The play is over, masquerade ends, fall the curtain
The mask falls off, my flesh can't bear the task
There is nothing left but survival
Waiting for the end's arrival

“Masks reveal. They don’t conceal. Masks reveal your cravings,
your passion, your deepest most secret desires.” Chloe Thurlow
