Is that too much to ask?

Hiding the hurt
Hiding the pain
Hiding the tears
That fall like rain
Saying I'm fine
When I'm anything but
This ache at my soul
Rips at my gut
My skin is on fire
I burn from within
The calm on my face
Is an ongoing sin
The world must stay out
I've built up a wall
My fragile lie will collapse
Should it ever fall
Loneliness consumes me
It eats away the years
Until my life is swallowed
By unending fears
Waiting for someone to see
I wear a mask
And care enough to remove it
Is that too much to ask?
