Mask I wear every day,
Hiding the depression that isn't important,
Wear the smile,
Be the smile.
Force the natural laugh,
Don't bust their joyful mood.
Keep the lie of being positive,
Even if I'm a pool of mud.
Mask I want removed,
Unable, stitched to my face,
Forever to fool the world with an unwanted mask.
