If I took off my mask
I'm afraid that you would see
how sad I really am inside
and that you really don't know me.
My tears flow behind my eyes
instead of trickling down my face
yet I carry on each and every day
without ever showing a trace
that I am slowly dying
more with each and every day
and that I grow more tired
and no longer want to stay.
But until that time comes
I will hide behind my mask
just please let me go one day
is all of you that I ask.
