Behind My Mask

​

They think they know me all so well,

But behind this mask I secretly dwell.

I hide my thoughts, my feelings too,

I hide so well from all of you.

I smile away the tears that fall,

I show no sign of weakness at all.

I hide behind an empty screen,

I’m different inside, not what I seem.

My hurt and tears get locked away,

And forever behind this mask they'll stay.

No matter how hard they try to escape,

I’ll hide away all my mistakes.

I hide me well, every day,

Forever in disguise I’ll stay.

I’ll smile away the tears that fall,

I’ll show no sign of weakness at all.
