Mask

I'm right in front of them

A glum look on my face

They don't notice at all

I don't even need a mask


I'm called mean names

Never shown who I really am

They're all so blind

It's like I'm wearing a mask


They see how I feel

But assume the opposite

And only put me down

I'm forced to wear a mask


They never see my feelings

They call me mean names

They assume that I'm fine

As if I'm holding up a mask


I don't even need to try

I don't even try to hide

I don't matter at all

I only hide behind a mask
