Hello Hi How are you? I've been good I've been meaning to ask. but why do you always hide behind a mask? What do you mean? Well I've seen you struggle Yet, you don't cry. You just act shy And just smile ... It's ok if you don't answer I don't mean to pressure. I was just wondering why You never cry. I cry... But on the inside Because the shadows of my past Lingers on to me. I hate to have it reappear. It haunts me when I'm happy. It slips it's way through Before I sleep. I wasn't always Smiling... Yet I do it to avoid the questions That others will always ask. So to me, ignored by these Stubborn people. I do nothing but smile. I smile To tell myself to try and forget the past, Yet it still stands in The corner Glaring at me I'm sorry, I didn't know. It's ok I just never showed.
