A Mask

When I am alone

people wonder, what is she doing?

I act as if I am outgoing, cheerful, full of life

but it is all a mask to cover up what is in my head

People don't fear me, but if they took even a peek into my mind

They would never be the same

The shadows of fear follow me

People scare me

Only a few truly know me

This mask, people think it's really me

but it's not

I didn't always wear it but it was always there

I have worn it for so long, it has worn down

I can no longer hide my emotions behind it well

One hit to the face and it pours out

Like a waterfall covered by a dam

My mask is now gone...























I'll just make a new one.

I'll just make a new one
