Behind A Mask
You cant look past my eyes,
My mask,
My shield,
My independence is what you challenge
My solitude,
My attitude.

The way that I reach for your patronage,
Hoping to be love,
Wanted but not touched.
so give me my space and get out of my face
and I wont bother you.

yet you still try to pursue,
a relationship that would just burn down in flames.
so let me have my mask,
and then i can just bask,
in the darkness of my shield.

my abyss is my bliss,
yet your ignorance is what kills me,
and you always dismiss
anything that wills me.
to move on,
to stand up,
and be the real me.
so give me back my mask.
