Wearing the Mask

I wear the mask, 

It hides all emotions. 

My happiness, sadness, even my madness. 

Behind this Mask;  

I'm Broken,  

Never to be fixed again. 

The mask makes it easier  

To deceive. 

I might look happy,  

Yet the voices and my soul 

Are stricken with sadness. 

I'm scared to show people 

Who I truly am. 

The mask helps. 

Taking it off?  

Never an option. 

Using the Mask  

Helps hide, 

It hides my feelings. 

No one, not even I can handle it. 

I put the mask on, 

So, I make everyone happy, 

Yet I can't seem to please to myself.
