You watch in awe as you see me fade

We've seen the last of this masquerade

This mask was torn by the words you'd say

What's underneath will make you turn away

Bruised and broken I grew inside

Watched disgusted as the outside died

I rose from the ashes of this misery

A phoenix heart for everyone to see

My scars tell the story of a thousand pains

My mind reels in wonder of how I've stayed sane
