Mask

by GoThLiNg PrInCeSs   Oct 8, 2006


.Perfect face.

Maybe you've seen her around

Shes always surrounded by friends

Always happy and smiling

Playing around and having fun

This girl is rarely alone

And nearly everyone knows who she is

.We hide from the crowds behind our masks...

No-one realised she was fake

That she forced a smile

And faked her laugh

That she struggled to stay alive every day

.Show perfection.

Everyone saw her beautiful smile

And thought she was happy

And that her life was perfect

That she had no worries in her mind

[Hidden behind the masks of lies is the true form

Beaten, bruised, scared and alone]

The perfect young girl got beaten everyday

And her perfect makeup hid her bruises

Her funky clothes hid her scars

No matter how many people were around her

She was always alone

.Not shown to the world.

No-one knew her secret

Of what went on at home

Of the pain she goes through

And of the pain she inflicts herself

.This is what we hide.

This is what I hide

    Hey, what you wrote is v.deep.. if this really happens to you i admire you for being able to get it out..it has so much feeling in it even tho when ppl read it they are only feeling a quarter of the pain your going through..
    just think to yourself even if you are scared of what people around you think.. noone can help you feel better unless they know what it is thats getting you down.. maybe try let the people around you in on some 'real' emotion.. i know its easier being said than done.. trust me i need to take some of my own advise.. lol
    I think you've written a great poem!
    Take care..
