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.
