Exit Left
Smiling, reading such rehearsed lines
Nodding and reassuring, yes of course I'm fine
Just like an actor, I put on my best show
To hide what I'm feeling, so they won't know
The pain, the sadness, the raw girl beneath
The bloody, forgotten person no one can see
Exit Left from the stage, I say to myself
Get away from these people, it's not good for your health
I rip off the mask as soon as I get home
And cry in my bedroom, once again so alone
Knowing that they may never see
The real me.
