Lyrics:
The Girl Behind The Mask
The Girl Behind the Mask doesn't understand that beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, and it doesn't matter how many times that I've told her, she still relies on the opinions of people of who don’t realise, that what they see as shy is in fact the feeling of lonely, they feeling of whatever she does is not quite good enough, the feeling of constantly disappointing the people closest who only want to see her happy. But instead they have to watch the deterioration and can do nothing, can do nothing but hope and pray that one day the Girl Behind the Mask can finally say, with content and honesty to herself… I’m happy. I can put these feelings of no self-worth on the shelf and live on and build up my life and repair myself from the past, and can finally say to myself that at last, I’ve done it. I’ve beaten the demons inside my soul, the demons who did nothing but make my thoughts and my life cold. The ones who made me contemplate my life, my confidence, my existence and my future, made me feel hurt that can’t be fixed with a surgical suture. The ones who made me panic when I even left my room as if the world was out to get me as if one day soon my day will come. When I can’t take anymore, the burden of depression has left me too sore, there’s no other option, no other way, it’s time… time to give my life away. The Girl Behind the Mask doesn’t see, that her strength shines so much brighter, you see, the Girl Behind the Mask doesn’t know what she’s capable of, it’s as if she’s blind to how happy she makes everyone, puts a smile on the face of a person feeling down, she’s blind to the fact that she can turn a sad day around, and make people smile from ear to ear, but when she takes off the mask she’s filled with nothing but fear, fear of what the next day is going to be for her, as if she’s waiting for her sentence and there’s nothing but rumours being spread about her. The Girl Behind the Mask’s the definition of beauty, the meaning of strength, she needs to know that it’s the duty, of everyone who cares to help in the fight, to make her realise that her life is her life, to understand that there’s nothing to be afraid of, she has family and friends that will show depression what they’re made of. The Girl Behind the Mask needs to lift her head up and open her eyes and realise that she’ll never be alone and as much as she may feel it, the pain she’s feeling now… happiness will heal it. So be strong and proud of the person you are, because with strength and power the end of these feelings isn’t far. And you can smile, sing, dance around and live the life you’ve been deprived of, the life you haven’t felt, the live you’ve lived contemplating an overdose or a belt. The life you’ve lived where eating is made a living hell, the life you’ve lived where everything goes wrong, but I promise that one day you can sing the song of courage and bravery, and you’ll be free from the emotional pain of mental anxiety. Stand with me now, Girl Behind the Mask, listen to these words, to yourself you must ask, why am I letting this take over and look in the mirror and witness your beauty, and as hard as it seems you need to smile, it’s your duty. And then see your pain as an emotional journey, a bumpy ride but as long as it seems, remember that certainly, there’ll be a destination waiting for you where you can be happy at last, but please be strong, Girl Behind the Mask. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Why do I listen to this? I listen because I can relate. I listen because when I have no one to talk to and I feel alone because everyone wants me to explain and all I want is someone to understand. The person behind the voice in this video gives me a reason to go on. I love how they can say the things no one wants to talk about it .
Tatianna Robinson That means a lot! Thank you! Stay strong!
I am always here to talk with you I can understand and listen
same...
Tatianna Robinson we'll your right :)::
Same
Sometimes when I say "I'm okay." I just want someone to look me in eyes, hug me tight, and say "It's okay if you're not."
Yea... I actually am known for hugging everyone around me kinda thing... and I think the reason why, is that I want someone to hug me back without me asking for one. So for rn, it’s okay to not be okay! It’s okay to not be strong all the time! It’s okay, I’m here. And I am sending so many freaking hugs to you now!
Me too❤️
The girl in the mask. That was me. I was depressed. I had mental breakdowns and I strongly believed that I was ugly and not good enough. My life was a hot mess but then, I found someone who loved me more than I loved myself. I found someone who loved me for who I was even though I did not know who I was. I found someone who destroyed that mask I wore into nothingness with love that has no depth.
It took time but I found God and every day, feels like the start of something new and great. Each day suddenly means a whole lot more to me. I face challenges now and then but they do not scare the hell out of me anymore. Instead, I overcome them with courage I never knew I had because I know he is with me every step of the way.
And Iwan Bedford, keep doing what you are doing. I cannot describe it but it is like healing, hope, peace and encouragement is found in your pieces and your voice.
If I was still wearing that mask, I strongly believe that this video would have helped me greatly. Thank You.
Samantha Kyei , things like this make it all worth while! Thank you!
Samantha Kyei my life, :(
please stop your self diagnosed
ṃєʟẓȏԀʏ
And you know this how?

This is beautiful thank you so much for making this. I struggle with excepting who I am and my boyfriend really try's to tell me how much I mean to the world. This is amazing once again.

Am I enough? - Spoken Words Poem.
Am I good enough? Am I pretty enough? Am I smart enough? Am I thin enough? Am I enough? Those are questions that I ask my self everyday because I wanna be good enough. Because I come to school and I see the groups of kids that hangout together, you have your jocks and your popular kids and the artistic kids or the musical kids, but what am I? Am I just another face in these hallways among the other rejects. Among the kids who feel like they don’t belong.
Am I the only person in the entire school who feels like they have a massive weight upon their shoulders everyday? Am I the only who cakes their face with makeup to cover up their gross and disgusting natural beauty. Am I the only one who wear baggy clothes because I don’t have a thin waist and nobody wants to see that. Becuase based on popoluar opinion if a girl doesn’t wear size zero skinny jeans or have a perfectly straight smile or beautiful luscious hair then then she’s not beautiful.
I wake up every morning and look in the mirror and think to myself “wow, I look gross.” I put on a pair of jeans, look in the mirror and say “wow. I’m incredibly fat.” I hate the way I look, I hate the way I talk. I hate the way I walk and breathe and act. I hate that I constantly compare myself to every girl at this school saying “I wish I was as skinny as her,” or “I wish I had that perfect smile,” or “I wish I had her beautiful hair.”. I wish I was good enough. I wish I was worth something. I wish I was beautiful.
Am I good enough? Am I pretty enough? Am I smart enough? Am I thin enough? Am I enough? The answer, is yes. Yes you are good enough, Yes you are pretty enough. Yes you are smart enough. Yes your are enough. You are beautiful. No matter what anyone says, or thinks or acts. You can wear whatever you want, you can put on makeup or keep it off, your still beautiful. You can show off that messy frizzy hair and not care about what people say because it is beautiful and it is natural. You can walk into school with your head held high and talk to whoever you want because society shouldn’t effect how you live your live. You should be the one to choose who you wanna be, not the opinions of people around you.
So for the last time. I am asking. Am I enough?
Thank you.
My legs went weak reading that and my face felt as it it were melting. Thanks for your poem
your poem gave me chills. thank you for writing such a great piece
Lizzie Xanarchy wow 😲
You are enough
more th>n enough
This was beautiful it explains everything I was put to tears thank you for making this❤️
Stay tuned! New video coming soon! ☺️
Iwan Bedford okay so im a competitive dancer and im thinking about using for a solo
Iwan Bedford would I be able to use this for a dance project in the near future?
Iwan Bedford I have the same question, would you mind if people used this piece of work for dance purposes?
Iwan Bedford i know many people have asked you this but, can this be used for a dance project? because this just is perfect, i have absolutely no words...
Iwan Bedford I literally tested 😭😭😭😭😭 it's so beautiful, I know I'm not a poet but I humbly ask if you could share the lyrics. It's so beautiful 😍
Nice poem. I love it. and I understand your pain; at least the best I can interrupt it. I believe you wrote this poem about a girl you loved that had to deal with depression and anxiety. You had to watch her pain day in and day out, or at least that is what I got from the poem. My message to you is that I understand and I think your poem is beautiful, because I know a girl that is behind the mask.
"When I can't take anymore, the burden of depression has left me to sore. There's no other option, no other way, it's time... Time to give my life away."
This part was so depressing and sad... I love it.
I'm gonna cry...
A few days ago I was told that no one likes me and that I looked like a train wrecked on my face by the person I trusted the most... but i guess that I'm just gonna live with it.
This Spoken Word Poetry is beautiful. Thank you.
Your better than their words
I have been listening to this for the last three years honestly this is the only thing that has been saving me
oh my gosh. This is literately my life. I will listen to this every morning. Ive seen so many 100% you will cry videos and haven't even felt sad about any of them... But this... This made my tear bridge break. All my tears cam out right now. All the anger and frustration and confusion and sadness built inside of me. I love this so much. These words are... I don't even know how to say this. Beautiful. Heart-touching. Just... They are the best words I have ever heard in my entire life. I love it.
This describes perfectly how it felt being me the past 4 years.
I'm sitting here crying listening to this. I've never related to anything more in my entire life. Thank you.
So, so important. This message is honest and crucial.
Sooo beautiful.. the way you talk, the poem, the way you say every word with emotion, the music.. Everything is perfect. Love it 💙
why is this so relatable? for so long ive been suicidal been in depression and no one knows how much fear i got whether ill make it until tomorrow... insecure is what i am ugly is what i used to be a victim of assult is what i am a broken girl is who i was for so long i never seen this beauty of who i am all i seen was the pains and aches of yesterday.. but no longer will i be that girl i am that girl behind that mask bc i to this day still hide behind it. but i will be strong and keep pressing on! thank you so much for this 💕
Aurora Ramirez Head up and smile you!
Iwan Bedford thank you! 💕i will smile on
itsaurorahh Siena God tells you that you are no longer a broken girl!
You are PRICELESS
I went through a very similar experience with people I used to be close with. Really deep man.
so beautiful... these strong words have flowed my tears ....
After 6 years. I’m finally commenting. 6 years later I visit this poem as a reminder to myself that I’ve grown. I’ve learned. Im healing. My heart breaks for the little girl in freshman year listening to this in class, on walks, even with friends. I really thought I wasn’t worthy to “smile, sing, dance around” I didn’t think anything was worth it. After 6 years I can finally say the end of this poem really resonated with me. I am not that broken little girl who found this. I am now a strong woman with no mask. Thank you.
That girl is not alone around her, but she alone inside. Behind her mask.
"please be strong, girl behind the mask" , thank you
more people need to watch this video it is so beautiful and emotional .
I needed this today ♡
Becca Butterfly i need this to
This broke my heart and then pieced it back together..
Waterfall of tears!!! 😭😭❤️ this was beautiful
I never thought I would find a video that would explain how I feel and how I want to feel one day. For those of you that have low self esteem like me please keep fighting and go to a counselor or someone you trust. I'm going to counseling and tbh it has been the best thing because I finally felt like someone saw me hurting.
This is the most amazing thing I've ever heard and I am grateful to the person who shared this with me. Like others, I can relate to this to a T. This writing gives me an understanding of who I've been, who I am and who I want to be. It gives me an understanding of the choices I've made, the mistakes I've made, the accomplishments and goals I reached and every experience through my journey. I am inspired by the truth. Only people who have experienced real loss, deep heartache, trauma or feelings of low self worth can truly understand how beautiful this writing is.
As soon as I started the video I sat in the dark and listened and I can relate so I started to cry
This is a really beautiful poem i really appreciate this poem that's how i feel sometimes.
I listen to this hopping one day I won't be the girl behind the mask.
I cry thinking that this is my life now. Depression and eating disorders and medication and ADHD and anxiety. I wish one day I won't be that girl behind the mask but I always will be. It's been 3 years almost 4. Why haven't i recovered yet?
this hit me so hard. I relate so much to this. thank you..
I wish there was a love button.. you deserve millions of them for encouraging so many ppl. God bless you💕
I relate to this so much, it hit me hard and I cried and I'm proud I did. This is a beautiful poem
Okay this is my favorite poem based solely on the way he says smile
This is truly so touching and beautiful. I cried the whole time. It has made me feel different about myself.... I've struggled so long with this stuff so thank you.
I have a girl behind the mask, my best freind that can't understand how much I love her. . .
I’ve really been needing this,I’m glad someone made this.
This is the only thing that can make me cry. It’s the one thing that I can relate to. So thank you and please keep doing these
I have no words. This is too true for me and it makes me cry
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You don't know how much you've changed my life just now.
What an awesome God we serve. Thank you what a beautiful ministry you have. God bless you📙📙📙
Thank you 😢
Tears are falling as I listen to the words alone in my room ,under my covers with the lights off and blinds down and,a razor in my hand.
Thank you ,I put the razor down to stop,and listen to your words.
I've never heard anything so inspiring before. Thank you. I've been needing this.
😢😢😢so beautiful and true everybody knows a girl behind the mask
This was very moving, every time I watch it I'm in tears
I don't know what brought me to this video, but thank you for this. I've been crying my eyes out these past hours, hurting myself, cutting myself and just hoping for my life to finally end. Spoken Word has always inspired me and I thought I'd look up some videos and found this. Once again, thank you.
Roxette Baybay your awesome

This poem makes me wanna cry, I felt as if there's finally someone in this whole wide world, who understands what it feels like to be me. I don't know you, but this poem, I felt as if you were reciting just for me, as if you know me so well. Thank you, a big thank you with a big hug.💕
POWERFUL. BEAUTIFUL.
Oh god I never thought I'd end up hearing the words that so clearly yells what I can't say
That's what everyone, every human being, should hear..everyday
wow. this has just made me feel so many emotions. thank you.
thank you for blessing my mind, ears, and heart.
Your music builds beautifully, just as your words do. I love your use of repetition and the way you balance the stressed words and those you let slip through. I really felt this one :)
LyLena Estabine hi i also apload spoken words .
I just started my youtube Channel.
I hope you like and subscribe cause i feel so discouraged no one is watching what i do even though i put lots of effort to write édit and stuff 😢 😳 😵
Hello! Congrats on starting because that's half of the work! Don't feel discouraged, it takes a lot of time to work up views and subscribers. Stay determined and stay patient. We should subscribe to one another!
This video is amazing. When I listen, I imagine your talking to me, for I am the girl behind the mask you clearly can see. This how I feel, this is what I do. You bring hope, and love that feels my heart. And reminds me that I am not alone, and I have nothing to fear. And reminds me why I am still here. Stuff like this, fills my heart. Reminds me not to hide my depression, not to try to kill myself again, and not to keep how I am feeling inside.
I feel like this was meant for me..... I'm always like the girl behind the mask.... I act all though........but deep inside......I'm scared and sad. I never been put to tears of joy but today this bought me to tears of sadness and happiness..... Thank you
Should this be my last breath spent . I would leave in such joy and completion hearing my heart find her voice in the brothers and sisters souring boldly to love lift and own their authority in liberating humanity. DOMINATE WITH LOVE
this is absolutely amazing. in all honesty it describes my life perfectly.
They Give You Pills Cuz They Think Your A Mistake But Your Not Your A Blessing And They Just Don’t Know It Yet
Simply thank you.
thank you for this poem.
This is the most important beautiful poem I have ever heard!
I could relate to this. All of it and to have a song feel what I'm feeling
this is exactly what i needed today when i was wearing my mask.... thank you so much for making this song
I cried because the girl behind the mask is just me.
And that's so sad
I just smile all the time everyday I am the girl behind the mask
Damn. This is good.
Wow! This is incredible - reduced to tears but oh so moving and powerful
I can relate it so much😭😭😭😭 My whole life was totally like this, its just like I dont wanna live anymore😢
Ty for this.. I am going through a battle right now and I needed to hear this right now.
Ahh this is beautiful! Your inflection is brilliant
Omg! wow...this is just amazing. Thank you so so much. I've been (and still am) being bullied. I've been hiding behind laconic replies like 'im fine or okay'. This has made me feel so good about myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you a million times and more!!!!
Just exactly what I feel. This is beautiful. Thank you ❤️
I love this because I feel like I have a connection with it
Thank you. Thank you for creating this. Thank you for making this. Thank you.
i never feel happy enough for myself....for anyone in this place we call earth.i have anxiety and depression ive had them for many years.i love this because that is ME!!
I needed this so bad no now will ever know how much this means to someone like me

I love you poems and all the hart that you put into in. I am a girl be hide a mask just like so many others, but you have shown a hole new world to me and I thank you. There needs to be more people like you with a kind hart an a jentall voice. Agean thank you
Thank you so much for this...you have no idea...how much this has helped me...as I listen to this with tears falling from my face a small part of me feels hope...so thank u for that
Thank you so much for this 💛
thank you for making this i cried at relife so much that i fell asleep and slept good for once so thank you
Love this, completely says it all. If one can help me understand how to take such bad days and make them feel to me that it really isn't so bad after all, as I see that is usually the ending result. As well as a few ppl too close to me are dealing with the same, if not more hurt to where they never feel there is a good in them or anyone or anything.
Thank you so much for making this...i have been depressed...hurting myself..over and over..my friend that is worried for me ((the only one...)) sent me this song i heard it and listened to it over and over too help me and it does help me again thank you for taking your own time,and making this video for those who struggle like me..This is beautiful..thank..you.. :,)
This was inspiring! It is giving me the strength i so desperately need in life.
This is me.. I'm literally in tears
I just saw this video and I just wanted to say thank you. This is going to leave an positive impact on me and my confidence I’m working on. You are so amazing at poetry too😊👍
This is beautiful and I cried. I can relate to this so much
This kinda sounds like a rap but the reason why I listen to videos like this it’s because I can relate to it I always love it how I’m not alone on this world feeling the same feelings like others
This is beautiful. The words were amazingly picked and powerful. I needed this today and I thank you for making such a video. It needs to be shown everywhere, to everyone that struggles every day and feels like giving up. Because no one should feel like that. And I think with the help of this video, we can change it around ❤️
Thank you for everything
This no longer speaks to me as it did a year ago, i came far in my journey. im not yet where i wanna be but im not where i used to be & that makes me proud of myself, thank u for making this.
I’m relate to this so much... and I never realized it.
I said a prayer that this video finds you somehow, someway wherever you are. It was destiny that brought us together and I hope we can always be friends.
