~horror is the removal of masks~

Jan_Yin

I always loved the  movies,

and wanted to be like the girls in the stories,

the cherry bubbly girl,

she was loved, it was obvious, you could tell.

I fell.

 

A pack of lies so beautiful

you want to believe,

I did, for a long time I did

my heart was full to the brim.

 

The main character I called myself,

all my ears were deaf

to the words of the world,

I was on cloud nine soaring' like a bird.

 

Everyone loves me I thought to myself,

I was as open as a book shelf.

I have a hundred and ten friends'

there is no one I offend,

no friendship I need to mend,

all the parties I will attend,

from the start till the end.

 

A pack of lies,

engraved in my mind like a tattoo,

my world was askew

the truth, I made a taboo.

 

A happy life till out came the truth,

oh the truth so cruel.

I realized I was wearing a horrid costume,

it was the beginning of my doom.
