No one ever asks
Are YOU ok
And when they do
I put on a mask
I hide my true feelings
To make them happy
To make it go away
They don’t see through it

They complain about their problems
They think they have it bad
But they don’t know true pain
They don’t understand
They don’t know how good they have it
They don’t know the pain they cause

They don’t know true sadness
They don’t know true pain

I put on a mask
I hide true self
I hide my flaws
I try to be perfect
I try to be average
I try to be like everyone else

I have no talents
I can’t do anything
I have no talents

I hear everyone getting compliments
I hear how everyone has it perfect
I act like I have it perfect
But they don’t see the mask I’m wearing

I don’t complain about how bad I have it
I just hide
I hide my pain
I hide my true self
I hide my flaws

I don’t have fun
I don’t have fun doing what I love
I can’t do what I love
I’m bad at everything

I wait for another like me
While I watch others with someone like them

I wait for me person to come
I wait for my “true love”
While I watch everyone else
With their love

I put on a mask
Acting like I’m happy
Acting like everyone else
Acting like I don’t hear them talking about me
Acting like their comment don’t hurt
Acting happy

While everyone else has it perfect
True happiness
What does that mean
Will I ever have it
Or will I just always wear a mask

I wear it to hide myself
To make everyone happy
Because they won’t worry about me
But why would they
