When Emotions Run High

When emotion run high and you want to scream and cry. You feel helpless to the trouble at hand. And you know no one will understand.
 I just put on my mask that says
        "EVERYTHING's OKAY."
But I have a sadness as deep as the ocean floor.
That s the kind of pain  that's in betted  in your core. 
My Feelings are so intense, they wouldn't possibly make sense to you. 
You wouldn't understand the things I've been through, how  I Think, or why I do the things I do. They make me weak, they make me strong.
It's a roller coaster of feelings I ride. 
My true self, I do hide.
So I just put on my mask that says                    "EVERYTHING's OKAY."
