A/N: For those of you who don't know, in the English language, if we do not know the gender of the person we are speaking of, we use 'he', 'him', and 'his'. Just letting you know so I won't get complaints.
In case there were a few of you who happened not to know..
Behind this mask of happiness lies a sadness pure as snow
Blanketed in icy fingers, cynical and tight,
The one behind the ever lasting smile is giving up the fight.
No more happy tears, or laughter clear as a bell,
Only selfish, desperate wishes to escape from their living hell.
Broken, lifeless, tossed aside, where bitterness resides,
He wishes he had turned his head and believed in all the lies.
