I cry behind a mask of joy
for I do not wish them to know it.

^^my favorite part in this poem :]

it was soo good :] great write!

5/5

"I shed no tears amongst others,
for I shall not burden them with my sorrow..."

Those lines are amazing, they speak truth that so many feel on a day to day basis, they are indeed deeper than people care to realise but they way you worded that statement of emotion within the simplicity of the lines is outstanding. Love those lines

"I cry for my self and the pain of others,
even though they never see it."

First off I think you mean "myself". It's nice to read these lines, even if they are not based on truth for yourself these lines do express a caring for others and a bigger meaning than just oneself.

"Nightly I cry,
daily I cry,
but no one sees or hears it.
Never shall they either..."

Sometimes trying to be strong by not letting anyone see the tears we shed is not being strong at all but a weakness through not being able to share the deep emotions that one feels, being able to cry and be seen is a sign one is connected to the inner peace within, very nice poem.
