Hidden Tears Poem by Raechael Dsouza

When others are around the mask is on;
No one knowing what's under the pretty smile;
Giving joy and making sure everyone happy;
Like nothing wrong has ever happened

When she's alone the mask is off;
Filled with pain and emptiness,
Hoping for a tight hug, and,
Him to make everything better

But, there she sits in the corner;
Full of just tears rolling out
, Hoping he would come back,
And, make all the tears disappear
