Mrs. Cynosure (May 17 1987 / Junction City Oregon)

Teen remembrances are a drag
When you're living within too many masks
Covering up what everyone wants you to cover up

You always remember living
Three different lives
Three different people living inside
You just wanting to be one

With such low expectations
One has to set high goals in life
To know ones self by
No one understands that I just want to cry sometimes
Tears do fall from these eyes
I just hide them away in the hole
That I slowly drowned in without laughing from day to day

The smile that I put on my face every day
Fools everyone I meet and the ones that I don’t
It even fools me from time to time
Thinking I really might be happy but I’m not
I’m not happy here and that is why I have to leave
To run and hide within my many masks
