Put on your mask
and face the world
don't need to worry
the person hidden underneath
wear your mask again
as you come home from work
people wouldn't know
you'd just lost your work

the mask covers your eyes
hide the telling eyes
and tell no one you'd been hurt inside
your mask is the smile
that covers your pain
who will know behind that charming smile
your heart cries , hoping you're still sane

secrets are not to be revealed
you know the rules and the risk
so you put on a smiling face
keep silent and smile
you masked your misery
on the pretext you're happy
hidden behind lies after lies
the truth is doomed to fade

again you love to hide behind your mask
thinking  its the only way to survive
denying one day...
one day... you'd be unmasked
