Michelle Bonham Poet I do not know?

Smiling Mask

I walk around with
A smile on my face.
My smile seems to hide
All my hurt.
The smile is the mask that 
Hides all the pain.
I tell myself to smile,
I don't want my friends
To see me hurting.
No one seems to beable to 
See through my mask.
I want to take this mask
Off and let everyone see
How much i'm hurting.
I can't seem to bring my hand
To my face to pull this 
Mask off.
The only place that I do
Take my mask off is in
The safety of my room.
My hurt is so bad I just
Want to die.
I just want to cut all
My veins open and let 
Them bleed, for everyone to see.
My head is screaming for help,
But no one can hear it.
I can't seem to take my
Smile off, so I can scream,
At the top of my lungs.
I've thought, if I was
To just die that the only
Person who would cry,
Is my best friend.
I want help, the words just
Don't come out right.
I need to take my smile,
My mask off and show
Someone all my pain.
If I do, I don't want to bring 
Them down with me.
I need someone to help
Me take this stupid smile,
This mask, off.
