The Masquerade Parade
Putting on the façade,
Living the masquerade,
Life’s not all that hard,
In the happy parade.
She puts on her persona,
Her happy-go-lucky disguise,
Had they ever really known her,
Enough to see through the lies?
And maybe someday they’ll see,
Those porcelain scars,
But hidden away they must be,
Buried so deep, lost so far…
Now don’t get me wrong,
Not every smile was a fake,
But as the cold night drags on,
The façade starts to break.
