The Mask

My mask is slipping, I try to keep it on. It makes me feel scared, All my defenses are gone.
I never keep the same face, 
Most of the time I feel out of place.
Who am I? Do I want to know? I am scared to find out . 
Am I a friend or am I a foe? I don't think people give a damn.
Living this life is a sham.
What do I fear? I am not really here. I don't know which way to go, I feel so low.
All I do is sit and cry I keep on going but I don't know why.
I wonder if I am insane. Why is my life such a pain? 
I wish that people could see the person that is really me. 
This mask I wear is just that ,a mask
its a version of me  that everyone will see.

A love gone wrong

A love gone wrong
What went wrong between us? Can you tell me?
I tried to be all you wanted , but you didn't want to see.
I couldn't be myself with you and you didn't even know .
You would say things that hurt me, I didn't let it show.
I kept my feelings to myself, you didn't seem to care.
You didn't even notice that I was even there.
I knew there was something wrong, but I didn't know what it could be.
But now that it is over , I see things differently.
I didn't really know you and you didn't love me.
