My Shell
I always cry. I don't let you see, but it's always happening. I wear a mask of happiness but who knows when i'll break out of this shell. You look in my eyes and make it better, Oh wait, that's just a dream to make the happiness illusion appear real. But no matter what anybody does, the pain is still real, it's still there. You realize I have become more guarded lately but you actually do nothing. So every night I cry. Everyone, even you, believes the happy act. I have that gift you know, being able to see people's feelings through their eyes, but no one ever notices my emotions in my eyes. It takes alot for me to put on this mask but I'm always just hoping someone will see the pain, rip the mask off, and help me. But they don't. Don't ask me why I do this or why i'm sad because I don't have a good reason. Just feelings. I need to be lifted up because right now i'm down. I hope and hope everyday but my hoping is never fufilled. I hope you find this, tear this phony happy mask off and make me feel better. But so far, no such luck. Please change my fate.
