Beneath The Surface...

I force a smile across my face one more time

Another day lost I feel as though I am trapped in an endless maze

One could say it is just a phase

But I'm not sure that would be enough to explain this stage

 A stage in my life where each day I walk about in a haze

Not sure if this is the life I truly want or just the one that I once made

The reflection in the mirror is not the same image that I see in my mind

A worn down soul I keep trying to hide

Where a courageous warrior once stood now has died

The masks we all wear, but what lurks beneath the surface

A scary place it all hides

Those deep down secrets everybody pretends aren't there as they continue to spread lies

There are few on this earth with no hidden agenda

They walk amongst the angels and continue to defeat their demons

If only for one day I would truly be surprised

If we all could take off our disguise would our souls reveal something sweet and loving, or a hideous dark thing lurking inside

The only way you can be certain is when you look into one's eyes
