Masks

I am no more

I'm gone at last

No more pain

It will finally pass

The mask I wore each day

I hid my sorrow

I hid my pain

A smile I wore

But it faded so fast

I'm no longer breathing

I'm no longer here

What killed me each day

All of my fear 

Is finally gone

My pain is set free

When I look down

I see what came to be

Was this life not worth living?

Was the pain not worth fighting?

I see children starving

I see children dying

I look at the streets

Although I'm not here

I still feel the pain

So I ask of you

Which mask do you wear?

One that is happy?

One that is sad?

One that is angry or one that is mad?

The masks that we wear

They hide us so well

Nothing is real

Nobody can tell

Who you really are

What you really do

Is all of this worth it?

Is what I ask of you.
