I put on this mask so no one sees I'm hurting.
I put on this mask so no one sees my fears.
I put on this mask to hide how
I truly feel, yet why do I want so badly for people to notice my mask?
Why do I want so badly for someone to see through the mask?
Someone to tell me everything's going to be okay and mean it?
Someone who truly cares?
I want so badly for someone to hear my cries, to see me cry.
How would they if I'm locked in my room crying silently?
