Mask

To the people who see me
And think I'm ok,
You see my mask
And the character I play.

The smile is fake,
The laughter hollow,
The humour weak,
The comfort shallow.

I give you what I need,
And get left with nothing.
My heart is heavy,
And my spirit is rotting.

My happiness is wilting,
And you can't see it.
Because I hide it,
So you won't feel it.
