The Mask I Wear

Sadness overwhelms me Deep As at night Alone I weep You cannot see My pain inside Yet You never even tried I know what You wish to see As you say You're proud of me This gentle smile On my face Belongs to me With all her grace It took some time To place her there So, daily she is What I wear Just for you She'll smile away Hoping she will Make your day As you pretend It's all real Never knowing How I feel And when you go To sleep at night Assure yourself I am alright You security blanket Hides so well That I'm still Living In this Hell.
