The Mask

Who is this person 
Behind the Mask
Hidden
Hidden From others
Putting on a Happy Face
For all to see
Laughter ringing out
Hollow
No one feel's it
No one see's
BUT ME

Hypocritical Hypocrite?
Maybe..
Is this truly 
What others see
How can it be
Trying so hard
Who is this person
When did it start
Hiding behind the Mask?

What is behind the
Mask
Longing, Lonely, Dispare
Pain, Hurting Heart
Tears, Falling Apart
Can not catch my breath
Scared to death
Who is this person 
Behind the Mask?

OH GOD I ASK
WHO???
