Society wanted me to hide,
The person that I was inside,
Behind so many masks,
Of lies and deceit.
Society wanted me to be the perfect angel they wanted to see,
But that meant lying of who I was to myself,
Tired of being society’s angel,
I decided to wash away the masks.
I knew being “perfect” was not the way for me,
And I knew I could no longer hide the pain that was trapped inside,
Lying about myself would never take away my pain.
The happy face I painted on,
Could no longer withstand my tears,
I washed away society’s view,
Of an angel they thought they knew.
