The Mask Poem by No Reason To Care

I come off strong and very tuff
I can look happy
I'm good with that kind of stuff
it may not show
that I go to sleep crying
it may not show
that inside I am dying
it doesn't show
how mad I am
all I can do is smile and think god damn
all these people are so stupid
they don't even see
how dark I am and how evil I can be

a mask is all they see
one of a girl who is perfectly happy
but when the mask comes off
they seem to get scared
with my eyes glowing red
and my teeth bared
they run away and leave me be
because they like the mask
that's just NOT me
