AM I A MARTYR?

I’m wearing a mask,

Untrue, so feign.

Trying to hide my tears

Under the rain.

Putting up a show

For everyone to see

Faking a smile,

Fabricating a story,

Making them believe

That I’m truly happy.

Well look at me

Tell me what do you see?

Am I the woman

You wanted me to be?

Do I satisfy you?

Am I good enough for you?

Do you like the fake gem

Standing in front of you?

Do I look like the diamond

You’ve been dreaming of?

Do I look like that woman,

The one you said you love?

I’m trying my best

To accept this situation.

No matter how hard I try,

I’m just a substitution.

You can call me masochist

‘Cause I endure this torment.

But in the name of love,

 These things I won’t resent.

Call me whatever you want,

For all I care.

But for the man I love,

All these pain,

I can bear.

Now tell me, my dear

 Am I a martyr?
