The Mask I Wear

I wear one
Everyday
To hide all I feel
From everyone
Yes, even from you
My love

When I laugh
I wanna scream
Smiling when
I wanna cry

It gets me through
The day

Pain
Hurt
Sorrow
Unhappiness
Are some of the things
I hide under the mask

Happiness
A smile
Even a laugh
Is all a lie

Why do I wear a mask?
To keep my friends sane
To keep the person I love
With everything I have
Happy
So he doesn't worry

So yet again
As I wake up for the day
I take a shower
And put on my mask for the day
A mask that no one can see through
