What I Do

I walk around with this mask To cover up who I am The smile on my face Is nothing but a lie Can't you see beyond all the lies To really see my eyes See all the pain and hurt To watch the tears fall one by one No all you see is that mask That hides everything all to well When I scream for help You only hear a fake laugh I'm falling to pieces so slowly And no one can tell it but me I wont to take off the mask But then no one would see me It would be as if i wasn't really thier And no one would really care

I like the way you described your hidden emotions by using a mask as a metaphor. Well done.
