I mask my pain* with visions of happiness
I mask my pain with lies
I mask my pain because of fear
I mask my pain because I'm afraid
Afraid of rejection
afraid you’ll stop caring
I fear the worse
I fear the day it all comes true
My fears they over whelm me
Fight my every move
I push them back into the depths
Into the darkness
They find a way to surface
Find away to gain strength
I mask the fear and pain
I mask my worse nightmare’s
I hide in the light
I Wear a mask that says I’m fine
when in reality
I’m hiding behind the **mask

— The End —
