This face you see isn't real
This smile is fake
This laugh isn't genuine
Might as well be plastic
Since its stuck

I put this mask on to hide
Hide from the people and their words
Maybe if I don't show it
They will stop leaving

My eyes have run out of tears
My mouth dry of words
Can't seem to conquer my fears
I mask it with a fake face

I'm a zombie with a party mask
I drag but seem alright
My face tells them I'm fine
But I'm dead
I can't live while walking in the land of the dead

"Push it down"
They tell me
"Don't let it show"
I tell myself

Sometimes it feels like God won't help
These lies give me different masks
Anger puts them on
Fear keeps them on

Saying what I feel isn't an option
So I'll keep these masks
Say hello to my fake face
this poem is about being fake but its one of the realest I've ever written
