Smiling

But are your smiles always truth?

Did you make this mask to hide the tears?

Why?

Don’t be scared Angel.

Don’t be hesitant.

Your tears show that you are alive,

That you have a soul,

That you are capable of feeling and knowing truth.

I know what it is like behind the mask.

I know the pain is almost unbearable.

I know the crushing weight of emotion.

I know why you hide.

You don’t want anyone to know your pain.

We want to help.

But you don’t believe us.

We want to cry with you.

But you won’t cry.

Let the mask go.

Don’t let yourself die.

Don’t let yourself sink so low.

Drop the mask.

It is poison to the soul.

Let it fall.

Let the tears fall with it.
