Mask

I put on a mask

To complete my task

Please don't ask

Why I bask

In my tears

I have for years

Hiding my fears

Hoping no one hears

Tears go down my cheek

I feel so weak

I can barely speak

I'm in so deep

Nothing comes out

As I scream and shout

My feelings sprout

I really doubt

My ability to survive

This pain inside

How can I thrive

When I don't want to be alive?

I've lost you

But I lost myself too

What do I do

With nothing to loose

I cover up well

I feel like hell

This story I tell

Has a moral as well

This mask is strong

Acting like nothing's wrong

This has gone on

For far too long

Ask if they're okay

Some day

You just may

Make a save

If you ask

You may just take off someone's mask.
