If someone pulled me from the inside out
Would they still like what they see?
Such things I hide behind
Are not always with intent to deceive
Do I have an intriguing mind?
Or better yet...
Do I have a beautiful heart?
Shouldn't these be the most important parts
I wear masks to disguise the pain
Underneath a river of lies fall down like rain
Should this river of lies drown me?
Or does it just make me grow
a thicker shell for all to see

In my dreams;

Life hands me a bitten apple already rotted to grim
and asks me to make a meal out of it.

To salvage its once purity.
Sometimes all I taste is ash...
All i feel is dust.
