do you see me behind this mask?

or are you just not trying?

my smiling face greets your day,

and you never asked while i simply smile.

and when my face turns upside down,

your face turns sober and asks" what wrong?"

i simply shrug and say, "nothing. . "

can you see my eyes behind these shaded eyes?

or are you just not looking?

my mouth may be turned into a smile,

but can't you see?

there's no twinkle, nor does it reach my eyes.

yes. i laugh, i smile but i can't cry.

or is it i couldn't. .

can you see the little sparks of water at the tip of my eyes?

or are you just stupid?

i blinked my eyes so that it'll go away.

i'm afraid for both you and me.

you might think i'm stupid for being like this,

and i'm afraid i won't stop.

so please let's both pretend nothing happened.

and carry on with our lives.

until i got the courage to cry on your shoulder.

can you see me waving goodbye?

or are you that mad that you won't even turn your back?

it was time for me, yet you ignored me on my time of need.

i shouldn't have trusted you,

i'm sorry i even bothered you with my disguise,

i'm sorry i even bothered to take this mask off.

i'm sorry i cried, but your shoulder was nowhere in sight.
