my mask
will does not force my mask,
a loney mood and empty flask,
does make my mind go numb,
behind this smile that you see,
is not a face so carefree,
abandon hope of helpful hands,
that sheers this mask from where it stands,
my mask of flesh and blood,
a scab of what I want,
to hide the face of real,
shall remain forever there,
to hide what i feel,
and protect what is scarred,
and so i walk in shame,
with my mask of fame,
until someone see's what I feel.
