My mask

by Becky   Nov 16, 2005


I wear this mask
of a girl i once knew
she was beautiful, and strong
she stood up for herself,
and what she believed in

she had no problems
bigger than a small fight
she didn't cry herself
to sleep every night

so i wear this mask
to hide the girl i now know
the girl i live with everyday

this girl i live with everyday she,
she has lost her beauty
she has forever grown weak
and the only thing she believes in
is pain

she cries at night
and curses the morning
starts everyday
with a new fake smile,
and that mask

she has more problems
than just a simple fight
her biggest problem
is the the fight within
her internal battle

one of her best friends
is an inanimate object
it can not talk
nor show emotion
but yet its comforting
and it eases all her pain
if only for a little while

this is a losing battle
that she struggles with everyday
to stay or to go
to end it or to drag on

    This Is So True! It's as though you have seen into my own experiences! I wish that none of us had to hide behind the mask and yet it is all that keeps us safe.
    I hope that one day you will find someone to whom you will not need to show the mask. Be yourself through writing, it is the best you can do. I love all your poems.
