changing, always. do you know me?

never the same
never the same.
always adapting
always adapting.
i continue to put on
my masks for you.
everyday's a different
one, and yet you have
no clue;
what it is, that you are
putting me thru.
i have to change,
from one Elise to
the next, on a moment's
notice & i never get to
rest.
the world is my stage,
and every minute is
a new scene.
i'm at a Masquerade Ball,
and dancing with every lad,
each time in a different dress,
and mask.
i cannot explain to you
the troubles i go thru
to make sure im perfect
just for you.
do you even know me?
can you see the tears in my heart?
the cuts in my soul?
the bruises in my mind?
i'm different all the time,
and no one seems to realize
the things i'm going thru
just to make sure,
i'm perfect for
you.
