My Mask

My Mask



She

A girl

So happy it seems

Lived in a world of depression

And being lost in her made up reality

People saw her

With a personality so bright

Not knowing

She cried herself to sleep at night

Walking around this town

This world

Wearing a mask

To hide her past

Her present

Cutting away lies she told

Ones not bad

Only the hidden

UNKOWN

She wears long sleeves and baggy pants

As to fulfill more of this mask

She never went out

She lived in her room

When she left

It was to school

Where she put on a smile

SO BIG

To cover up the tears she held in

The pain of what she went through

Nobody knew

Acting as One

Being someone else Two

Living her life in a cracked up shell

Not coming out

No matter how loud she yelled

Whatever she did

This Life

Held her down

This secret identity would destroy her somehow

“I don’t want”

“I don’t want this life”

She doesn’t want this mask

She doesn’t want to lie

Forever be trapped

Hidden all the time

So what does she do

Something noble and brave

She takes it by the handful

And pulls so hard

Seeing

A Secret Identity

Dying

On the floor.
