The Mask

Everyday I wake up to put on this beautiful deceiving mask

Day by day it's getting harder to complete this difficult task

This mask only shows what it wants people to see

It's shows that I am the happiest person I can be

When in reality I'm not happy I'm not fine

I'm actually having a very hard time

I'm suffering from a lot of pain on the inside

But I've got a mask to hide

All the lost time and scattered dreams

Fighting day after day to see what life really means

Is this a nightmare or am I really awake

The life that I'm living just has to be fake

Tick tock tick tock time continues to pass

I continue to hide behind this make believe mask

Everytime I sit and think about how fast time flies

I am haunted by this simple question

Am I truly fine?

I try so hard not to feel as if life has me beat

But there goes my weak mind reminding me of these expectations everyone wants me to meet

From this point on I am determined to take off this mask

It's time to be what I can honestly be not what everyone wants to see but the BEAUTIFUL , CONFIDENT, and SMART me

I am done with this mask now I can say I have sincerely completed this task.
