This was a poem originally composed by my loved one as a child. When she showed it to me, i immediatly fell in love with it, so we worked on it again. This is dedicated and should be accredited soley to her. I love you.

Mask

©  Potsim And Pikachu
I was once sad and lonely,
Having nobody to comfort me,
So I wore a mask that always smiled;
To hide my feelings behind a lie.

Before long, I had many friends;
With my mask, I was one of them.
But deep inside, I still felt empty,
Like I was missing a part of me.

Nobody could hear my cries at night
For I designed my mask to hide the lies.
Nobody could see the pain I was feeling
For I designed my mask to be laughing.

Behind all the smiles were the tears
And behind all the comfort were the fears.
Everything you think you see,
Wasn't everything there was to me.

Day by day,
I was slowly dying.
I couldn't go on,
There was something missing..

Until now I'm still searching
For the thing that'll stop my crying.
For someone who'll erase my fears,
For the person who'll wipe my tears.

But till then I'll keep on smiling.
Hiding behind this mask I'm wearing.
Hoping one day I can smile,
Till then, I'll be here.. waiting.

This poem touched me because right now I am going through the same thing. I have a mask on.....I put it on because I don't want to show people how I really feel. I put a fake smile and a fake laugh for them. I won't let anyone in, why....I don't know why. I guess I am scared, but in order for me to move on with my life with family and friends I hide behind a mask until one day it will come off.

Last year I had a boyfriend and a brother die to street violence. I felt so alone. I didn't show or express my feelings. This led to a depression. One night my mom and I had a fight and I wrote a suicide letter. We talked and now I'm okay. But I still feel as if I have on a mask crying on the inside
