Author's Note: This was a piece I had up a long time ago, and I decided to just fix it up a bit.

Mask

That anger you wear
Is just a mask
Hiding the burden
Your soul must bear
And it's almost too much, isn't it?

The pain you feel every day
And the only way to make it go away
Is to push away those around you

But I'm here
And I'll help you
Know I'll never desert you

And I can see myself in your eyes
And know you know my fear
My tears

And you hold me
If only for a moment
A moment…

And then as I hold you
I know
You know
And I'll never let you go.
