Trapped

carefully down off the shelf
leaving only an empty space
layed in spot and molded on
its just another face

in the mirror its checked again
all adjustments done
now its time to face the world
in the ever telling sun

walking along with nothing but hope
that the world may never see
that under the mask carefully placed
is really only me

hidding deep, fear covered
keeping all of you blind
never will you really know
what's deep inside my mind

walk with me and talk with me
smile and wish me well
never will you know
my ever present hell

almost through the day now
secret never seen
walking through the door
to finish the regime

the chosen mask removed
and all that remains
the person who is hidden
bound tightly in my chains
