The Mask
I wear the mask of a happy person
To hide my face of fear
I wear this mask all the time
To hide my pain and tears
My heart is trying to pump the blood
To this masks rosie cheaks
But the face behind it is so pale
And so very beat
A smile is so hurtful
And the tears feel like chians
I wonder is I can ever take off this mask
And release all this pain
I hope and prey everyday
To rip off the mask of shame
And when that day finally comes
I'll be done with this stupied game
To hide my face of fear
I wear this mask all the time
To hide my pain and tears
My heart is trying to pump the blood
To this masks rosie cheaks
But the face behind it is so pale
And so very beat
A smile is so hurtful
And the tears feel like chians
I wonder is I can ever take off this mask
And release all this pain
I hope and prey everyday
To rip off the mask of shame
And when that day finally comes
I'll be done with this stupied game

lovely sentiments expressed so well, the hardest part of a thousand mile walk is the first step so the person in the poem has already moved in the right direction...
