Mask
Nobody could hear my cries at night
for I designed this mask to hide the lies
nobody could see the pain
for I designed this mask to laugh
nobody could hurt me with words
for I designed this mask to be strong
I'm sad & lonely
having no one to turn to
since moms been gone
I wore this mask that always seem to make me feel less stressful
hide my feelings behind a lie you would say
behind all this smile, were tears
behind all the comfort, were fears
everything you think you see
isn't everything there is to me
my body slowly numbs
yet no one knows
for this mask I designed
I designed personally for me
