Beautiful mask

by xo kisses xo   Apr 7, 2007


I wake up in the morning
put on my happy face
the one that you will believe
to get me through these days
but you don't see whats hidden
behind this beautiful mask

as i wear this smile
I'm so good at playing along
making everyone believe
that i am so strong
yet before i go to sleep
i will crumble to the ground

too much pain
for anyone to see
but this little smile
isn't the real me
I'm just another girl
wearing a beautiful mask

so i fake a smile
and hide these tears
letting no-one know
these awful fears
and maybe...one day
I'll believe this smile too

thanks for reading my poem! i am trying to write some "non-rhyming" poems...and i hope to get better at it soon. please r/c and i will return the favor

    I hope someday the smile will come from a happy heart,and it will be real until then keep writing and expressing it. thank you for your nice comment.

    I think for just beginning it's pretty good maybe instead of jumping right into not rhyming you might want to do near end rhyme or something

    This is really good. i love the idea and the words you chose to use. something I can really relate to because your sadness/struggle comes through so vividly. very nice job!!
