this mask

i wear this mask,
it hides my lies.
it tells so much,
this, my disguise.

it smiles for me
when inside im crying.
it looks alive,
when inside im dying

it fools my friends
and tricks my family.
it does what i wish
it never shows the real me.

i wear this mask
it hides my lies
it tells so much
this, my disguise.
