I hid it all

Years had gone by,
I am still the lonely usual me.
Muted when happy,
endlessly smiling when carrying the world.

If face masks were to be counted,
I'd gain the most.
If only you knew how I covered my true self,
behind those sad smiles curbed up at a shelf.

Secretly caged between these smiling eyes you see,
was a world of broken dreams,
my life specifically.
If only you knew how I considered everything a chance,
even a wry, subtle promise, I'll fall for it.

To hide these feelings away,
'twas the state where I almost fell,
a single soul, I couldn't grip, couldn't tell.
To live a life hiding from reality,
I was far beyond from reverie.

In my mind I held your beloved's arm,
quietly, meaningly crashing her face to bits.
All in my mind,
not a chance,
but a sight.

I placed myself behind every wall,
all odds I quietly call.
To shrink into one tiny ball,
all these feelings,
I hid them all.
