Masked Emotions

Published by Family Friend Poems May 2012 with permission of the Author.

There is something about me
Everyone wonders what that could be
could it be my smile
what about my laugh
or the happiness I bring

To me it's all fake
Nothing about this shield is true
My smile is frowning
Laughing comes out as weeps
My happiness is always sad

The story about my life
Has never been said
Everyone loves my mask
They tell me they love me
I can't believe them one bit
my emotions are all fake

I don't want people comforting me
For the way I choose to live
It's my life
You can not lead it as you choose
Though I wish you could
