My Mask

by Cody   May 11, 2006


I put on my mask again
Everyone thinking I'm their friend
Yet despair pulls me down
I think I'm going to drown

My mask hides who I am from who I've become
This is something I'm sure you know of

I've lived a life based on lies
I am someone who you should despise
The real me watches and cries

Only I know the depth of my hate
a hate everyone helped to create
Consider me dead to you
I will be leaving soon

Some should consider this my goodbye
Other realize this is simply how I will die

    This poem had a good meaning, and it had a lot of rhyming, and such..But the format and flow was a little off, because the structure of the poem was always changing.

    It was 4 and then 2 and yeah.

    Nice poem.
