mask
i’m behind a
mask
but it’s no ordinary
mask
it’s hiding my emotions
shielding others from my
depression
my mask
hiding my true self
displaying happiness
but a mask will never be the truth
a mask will always be
a hiding place
some wear for fun
some wear for theater
some wear to be funny
but i wear my mask
because i’m not
happy
happy
what a simple word
however a chain
i pull this chain
behind me
my mask held up
by my scarred wrist
happy
Five letters
but five tons of weight
will i ever be happy?
this mask
may hide my feelings
from others
but it will never
hide them from me
mask
i’m behind a
mask
