there is a mask on my face
that I wear whenever I go out
it has a smile painted on it
though there is nothing to smile about
there is a mask on my face
that never ever cries
all it has is happiness
while inside it dies
there is a mask on my face
that acts as if everything is all right
even though everything is not okay
and happiness is far out of sight
there is a mask on my face
that tricks many people each day
into thinking I'm happy
until the mask finally melts away
this is a great poem. Good job, I love the imagery, something everyone can relate to.
