My Mask

I smile,
I laugh,
It's a cover up,
a mask.

I cry,
only when,
I'm alone,
so no one knows.

They all think,
that they know me,
they only know my mask,
not the real me.

I hide myself,
behind a smile,
a happy life,
full of unknown betrayal.

This life,
of sorrow,
not wanting to see tomorrow,
hidden behind my mask.
