Masked Pain
The lowering of barriers
Not comfortable acknowledging
Haven’t quite learned how to deal
The task for others to decipher
Left complicated
The truth about Masked Pain
That’s used to disguise inner pain
Is it all just pride
Hiding
Feelings of inadequacy
That leads to psychological issues
Masquerading
As real medical problems
Only to hear
There’s nothing physically wrong with you
Instead diagnosed with psychosomatic illness
Layman’s terms
Phantom Illness
Caused by Suppressed Pain
So much energy exerted
To smile
When all you want to do is cry
To sing and dance
When all you want to do is
Curl up and sleep for days
The mask we all wear
From time to time
Have you noticed
The eyes
It’s still revealed
Reason being
The eyes tell no lies
The truth the mask can’t hide
And when you see
It screams
Hey
See me
I’m really hurting
But
I’m hiding my pain
Behind this Mask
