The mask

by Fighter (Ariane L.)   Dec 18, 2004


Everyday, I wake up,
Wearing a mask...
I seem happy,
Joyful,
Radiant,
But the mask hides the real me,
The one that I will let no one see...
No one really knows me
You don't know where I'm writing this from,
You don't know why I wear this mask
That forces me to hide my true self
From the world,
From my family,
From my friends,
From you...
You don't know what I'm thinking,
You don't know why my feelings
are hidden,
You don't know why I start crying when I'm alone...
You have no power,
no control over me
You can't force me to do as you say,
Because you don't know me...
You don't know why I'm so unhappy,
You don't know why I hate my life,
You don't know why i think of suicide...
You don't know me...
Because you never asked,
never cared...

    Hey this is good. It reminds me of myself a lot. Everyday i put on a mask to hide from others of what i really feel within. I hate having pity, so i put on fake smile and fake personality. Just so others can put up with me. I you really were to see me for me. You would see a tired person with a weakening spirit and a damaged heart.
