THE FACE BEHIND THE MASK
I am your pain,
I am your gain,
I bear your pain,
I Share your gain,
Nobody loves you like me,
No one cherishes me like you.
I am, the face behind your mask.
My life, i sacrifice,
You are the yet the face, seen by the world.
My glory, they see in your eyes,
And you are honored by my words.
And yet,
You claim, i don’t know how it feels,
To face the world, you feel it kills.
But yet,
I claim, it’s just like taking pills,
I have swallowed up, your bills.
I am, the face behind your mask.
Little do you know!
About my ordeals.
Wallowing in pain, is I,
Like having a little twig in the eye.
Little do you know!
About the world’s deals.
Hope not to cause a break in the tie,
Still, my loyalty, none can buy.
I am, the face behind your mask!
