No one knows the real me
I sit in a dark corner with chains all around
People see me on the outside
But no one sees the pain I’m in
I cry at night, tears of blood falls down my face
I cut myself up with my knife
And suck on my blood
I sit in the shadows waiting for someone
But who?
Who am I waiting for?
I try to search for the answers
But I never found it
Until then, I’ll always hide behind a mask
My real identity…. no one knows
I’m The Fallen

Whats Behind the Mask?

Topic: DarkPoetry

Hidden behind a mask
No one knows the real me
I sit in a dark corner with chains all around
People see me on the outside
But no one sees the pain I’m in
I cry at night, tears of blood falls down my face
I cut myself up with my knife
And suck on my blood
I sit in the shadows waiting for someone
But who?
Who am I waiting for?
I try to search for the answers
But I never found it
Until then, I’ll always hide behind a mask
My real identity…. no one knows
I’m The Fallen

Interesting poem.

Do you know what else is interesting?

The Cramps have a song from their first full-length album "Songs The Lord Taught Us"
titled "What's Behind The Mask"

"What's Behind The Mask"

I been seeing you for months
Coming to this place
Now what I wanna know is, honey
When can I see your face?

I know you been hiding something
Secrets in your past
Whooo, baby, I just gotta know
What's behind the mask

Please, baby, please please
Give me one quick glance
Now how come I can't see your face when I
See what's in your pants?

Is it a skin condition?
Or an extra eye?
Surgical incision?
I keep wonderin' why (why!)

Uhhh... you ain't wearin' silver bullets
Or carving Z's in chests
It's been months since Halloween
Honey, I can't guess

Now just relax and let me lift up this edge
And let me take a peek
Ooh, let me have a look in here...
EEEEEEEEK!

Well, curiosity killed this cat
Sorry I ever asked
What I don't know can't hurt me as much as
What's behind the mask

What's behind the mask, girl
What's behind the mask
What's behind that mask, girl
Sorry I ever asked."

The Cramps, "What's Behind The Mask"

You have a more serious tone here, with likewise imagery, and this poem has its own poetic merit.

That was amazing. I felt everything you described, in vivid detail. Loved it.
