Smiling Mask

I walk around with A smile on my face. My smile seems to hide All my hurt. The smile is the mask that Hides all the pain. I tell myself to smile, I don't want my friends To see me hurting. No one seems to beable to See through my mask. I want to take this mask Off and let everyone see How much i'm hurting. I can't seem to bring my hand To my face to pull this Mask off. The only place that I do Take my mask off is in The safety of my room. My hurt is so bad I just Want to die. I just want to cut all My veins open and let Them bleed, for everyone to see. My head is screaming for help, But no one can hear it. I can't seem to take my Smile off, so I can scream, At the top of my lungs. I've thought, if I was To just die that the only Person who would cry, Is my best friend. I want help, the words just Don't come out right. I need to take my smile, My mask off and show Someone all my pain. If I do, I don't want to bring Them down with me. I need someone to help Me take this stupid smile, This mask, off.
