Facade

Sometimes the facade is tiring

A mask I wear to hide my emotions

A person who is rarely angry, always happy, smart, and kind is what people say I should be

That I would be so pretty if I fixed my attitude

They say I get angry over stupid things or overreact

So I push down my emotions and be what They want me to be

What they need me to be

I stay up late doing assignments so I can please my parents 

I study so I'm smart

But sometimes I wish I hadn't

Because now people use because the know I won't fight back

They change and mold me into what they want me to be

I apologize for everything including being me

Sometimes I wish I could break the mask I hide behind 

But then again the only thing I really want I would lose right away

That thing is the validation of people around me
