My mask is back

Hey guys I know I'm posting a lot but I just really wanted to post this poem that explains my situation and my feelings right now:
I was once sad and lonely

Having nobody to comfort me

So I wore a mask that always smiled

To hide my feelings behind a lie

Before long I had many friends

With my mask they loved me

But deep inside I still feel empty

Like I was missing a part of me nobody

could hear my cries at night

For I designed my mask to hide the lies

nobody could see the pain I was feeling

for I designed my mask to be laughing

behind all the smiles there are tears

and behind all the comfort there was fear

everything you think you see wasn't all there was to me

day by day

I was slowly dying

I couldn't go on until now

I am still searching for the thing that will stop my crying

for someone who'll erase my fears

for the person who'll wipe my tears

but till then I'll keep on smiling

hiding behind this mask I'm wearing

hoping one day I can smile

till then I'll be here waiting
