It's a Lie
I'm telling myself I am fine,
I say I am not going to give up,
I do,
My mask has hidden me long enough
Though it keeps the truth inside me,
I will keep it bottled up,
To seem I am all okay,
Nobody can see
Me cry, me wanting to die,
Throughout these months of nervous breakdowns,
The shock of my truth,
Only I feel,
Only I see,
Only I bare it alone,
Without this mask, you will see me as a mess,
I need to do better at hiding,
These feelings never subside,
For only it's a lie.
