MASK
Lost in a painful game of charades,
No one can see through my disguise,
My lies.
My heart is pounding,
I want someone,
Anyone to see.
I want my emotions to run free.
I put on this mask to hide my tears,
Though my mind is constantly consumed by fears.
Surrounded by friends,
None of them have seen through my fake smiles,
It's taken too long of a while.
I must be a better actor then I thought.
I wish to be caught.
I wish someone can see through my pain.
I never thought it could hurt so much,
Still more to gain.
Too bad, I want to hurt,
I feel like it's too late,
I feel betrayed.
Lost in this depression.
Trapped in this horrible web I've made.
Please I beg, someone see through my charade.
