medicine for depressed people.

i am "happy".

i am a happy man wearing a mask.
i wonder when i can take it off.
i see their pleasure to laugh at my jokes.
i want them to know that those are no jokes.
i am a happy man wearing a mask.

i pretend that everything is okay.
i feel like the pain will never stop.
i touch the hearts of those who i see going through the pain.
i worry that maybe one day i will be too late.
i frown once i take off this mask.
i am a happy man wearing a mask.

i understand that it could get better if i seek help.
i say, "just dont show your true face."
i dream where i am happy with no mask on.
i try to make that dream become reality.
i hope that i can understand the truth:
i am a depressed man hidden with a smiling happy mask.
