Mask

Smiling is just a façade

You don’t know what it’s like in my mind

You see what I want you to believe

And not the pain inside

 It wasn’t something that came easily

A better answer I searched for weeks

But I couldn’t change how I felt

Making everyone happy was out of reach

You may not think I’m suffering

Or that I recovered fast

But if you truly knew what was going on

You’d know my mask won’t last

I put on a show

Make you think that I’m alright

But it’s only cause I have to

My emotions a constant fight

I already feel horrible

Being reminded – even worse

Don’t think that cause I act okay

Means that I’m not hurt
