I'm wearing a Mask,
can you see my pain?
Concealing the darkness,
inside my brain.
It smiles and declares,
my life is so great.
But under my Mask,
I'm full of self hate.
Lonliness, confusion
emptiness and shame.
I put on my Mask
and accept all the blame.
Tears fall steadily
under my Mask.
Wiping them away
is no easy task.
For I cannot remove it
I may be revealed.
Exposing the lies
and the suffering I've concealed.
The Mask is my cover,
my friend, my lover.
Without my Mask,
they would all discover.....
I am LOST.
