I stand alone,
Against a world unknown,
A scared and broken heart.
I close my eyes,
Erase the lies,
Trying to restart.
I unmask my face,
Cannot replace,
The beaten and bruised soul.
I hold my chest,
A heart confessed,
Trying to mend the hole.
I dream awake,
Of my mistake,
And remove my disguise.
The bad is still bad,
And just as sad,
When I close my eyes.
