the mask

[lovely friend]

Hello everyone hope u r all doing great, here i want to share with you one of the most amazing poems i have ever read
hope u'll like it

I was once sad and lonely
Having nobody to comfort me
So I wore a mask that always smiled
To hide my feelings behind a lie

Before long, I had many friends
With my mask, I was one of them
But deep inside, I still felt empty
Like I was missing a part of me

Nobody could hear my cries at night
For I designed my mask to hide the lies.
Nobody could see the pain I was feeling
For I designed my mask to be laughing.

Behind all the smiles were the tears
And behind all the comfort were the fears.
Everything you think you see
Wasn't everything there was to me

Day by day
I was slowly dying
I couldn't go on
There was something missing

Until now I'm still searching
For the thing that'll stop my crying
For someone who'll erase my fears
For the person who'll wipe my tears

But till then I'll keep on smiling
Hiding behind this mask I'm wearing
Hoping one day I can smile
Till then, I'll be here.. waiting

peace
