The Mask

here i am hiding again behind this mask that i live in but its just a display so that people wont ask whats the matter or why you look so sad theres so many answers to that one little question if only these people was inside my head then they would know why i want to be dead not because life has gotten to rough or because the people are getting to tough its because i dont know what else to do and id rather die then sit around looking like a fool oh but thats the side i have to hide sheld away and pretend to have some pride even though life is killing me with every stride so i place on that mask everyday until i get home and i sit and cry only wishing some how i could just die but i cant show this side of me because they would want to lock me away and throw away the key so instead i wear this mask to hide all the things i feel inside
