My Mask Is Slipping
Help! Help!
The mask is slipping!
Should I let it just slip away? dissipate.?
remove my fears and anxiety, and try again
Once more?
You see, the mask is not on my face. It’s on my broken heart!
My heart has been damaged , in so many places!
Only I alone, could feel the pain
I wear the mask on my heart, with all my distorted expressions!
People don’t see me,for what I really am
I’m broken, but no one knows!
The dreadful pain that’s within my soul
Screams like a knife or a whip
lashing at the weak parts of your mind!
They say I’m alot of fun!
I laugh and tell jokes
life of the party!
That’s only, how I pretend to be
It’s only a façade!
My mask hides the broken pieces
And the hole in my heart,I camouflage!
Maybe,the pain will go away, just the way it came!
Happiness could come back
I must try and try, to remove
this horrible mask!
Until then, the mask stays on
I remain the same!
