I'm just another face

Another laugh

Another cry

You've seen my face

but don't know my name

The world is my playground

The people are my puppets


I can make you believe

I'm alive or I can make you believe nothing but lies


The hallways are filled with mannequins with no faces

The classrooms are empty prison cells


Someday the world will know my face and You won't be able to forget it

this piece is about a girl who blends into the background and you never realize she's there till she's gone forever

&quot;And when I&#039;m gone, just carry on, don&#039;t mourn<br /> Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice<br /> Just know that I&#039;m looking down on you smiling<br /> And I didn&#039;t feel a thing, So baby don&#039;t feel my pain<br /> Just smile back&quot;-Eminem
