Mask

I have a mask that I show to everyone.
Even to the people who are closest to me.
I have to be strong and stay that way.
I never let my guard down.
I can never be vulnerable.
I have to keep a smile on my face even when I'm not really happy.
I have to protect my loved ones.
I have to care for them.
I have to do things that make them happy.
I have to keep all of these things inside for the good of others.
But what would happen if I take this mask off?
No one knows not even me.
