The Monstor On The Other Side

Have you ever wondered, if what everyone else sees,
Is actually the same person you see in the mirror?
Do you see the same gaunt face blurred, with empty eyes?
Can you see the lies the image tells any clearer?

Have you ever wanted, to just reach out to see if it’s real?
Or did you look through the mask, and hate what you saw?
Have you ever hurt so much, you wanted to die?
Or clawed at the lies, until your face was bloody and raw?

Have you ever thought, how far you would have to go,
Before anyone would even care to notice something’s wrong?
Have you ever hated everything that you ever were?
To the point you only survive by pretending to be strong?
