My Mask
Sometimes, I need to put
My mask on, too
To hide from everyone
What I am going through
The mask covers
My sadness deep within
What I have fought for
I never could win
It covers up frustration and anxiety
It then turns to anger,
I have no idea why
The broken heart, is torn in two
Try not to cry and let out a sigh
At times, you wish life was through
Because of what people say or do
So the mask stays on for awhile
Til I feel it is safe to take off, too
