This is one of my favourite poems I wrote. I was inspired to write it when I was going through a bad time in my life. Please comment and tell me what you think (Please be kind)
What Lays Behind The Mask
I wear a mask for all to see,
But underneath lays the true me.
Just like a clown my smile is painted on,
But you will never know my happiness is gone
Sometimes I run to find a place to cry,
But secretly think of ways to die.
I cannot share my tales of grief
Because some of them are beyond the realm of belief
If you only knew what problems I’ve had
Then you may understand why I’m so sad
Is there any light at the end of the tunnel for me
Or is this how my life is destined to proceed?
I wear a mask for all to see,
But underneath lays the true me.
