Mask
A stranger
No one sees
A mask that came to be
A different person
Who Isn’t me
Because of this mask
I don’t feel free
Trapped
Fearing no one
Will like the real me
I feel like a stranger
So out of place
A fake smile upon my face
Outside I look fine
Even though
I’m hurting inside
I smile when i’m sad
I laugh when I want to cry
Because of this mask
That I hide behind
