Behind A Mask

You look at me

You look at my smile

My energy

But how could you know

That I was wearing a mask

Once I lift the mask

The smile

The energy

The happiness

Is gone

Instead, there is

Agony

Torture

Coldness

Indescribable pain

So when you see me laughing

I'm actually crying inside

That's all I ever do

That's all I ever feel

So I'm begging

Help me

Help me until the mask is no longer a mask

But until then

In front of you

I'll always be wearing a mask

I'll always be hiding

Hiding behind a mask
