My Mask
This mask I wear
Is one that no one can
See though.
I used to never
Need a mask
I was naturally happy
There was no reason to force it
No one knows
The pain
I hide with this mask
No one understands the hell
I am going through
I see everyone around me
Some with masks
Some without
When people are around
This mask stays strong
But when I enter
A period of loneliness
It shatters
I let out the pain
The tears
The suffering
I'm scared
That this mask will one day
Become a permanent part of me
I'm frightened
That I will never
Find that one
Who will se behind
This mask I wear
I'm terrified
That no one
In this whole damn world
Will take off this mask
And heal
My shattered heart
