Mask

This poem is about a time in my life when I had no friends but found ones in the end because of my 'mask' that I was wearing.

I was once sad and lonely,

Having no one to comfort me,

So I wore a mask that always smiled,

To hide my feelings behind a lie.

Before long, I had many friends ;

With my mask I was one of them.

But deep inside I still felt empty,

Like I was missing a part of me.

Nobody could hear my cries at night'

For I designed my mask to hide the lies.

Nobody could see the pain I was feeling,

For I designed a mask to be laughing.

Behind all the smiles were the tears,

And behind all the comfort was the fears.

Everything you think you see

Wasn't everything there was to me.

Day by day

I was slowly dying.

I couldn't go on.

There was something missing to me...

Until now I'm still searching

For the one thing that'll stop my crying,

For someone who'll erase my fears

For the person who'll wipe my tears.

But till then I'll keep on smiling,

Hiding behind this mask I'm wearing.

Hoping one day I can smile,

Till then, I'll be here...Waiting.
