Default This Mask

What do you see inside of me
that makes you stop and stare
so you see who i try to be
or do you even care

i wear this mask upon my face
so others do not see
the pain that lingers in the place
of who i want to be

No one knows I wear this mask
it's in its place for every task
yet underneath lay unseen tears
mingled with my unspoken fears

What others see on the outside
fools them into believing
they do not see what i hide
they think they know my very being

The cruel words they speak outloud
seem to brush me by
yet they envelop me in a cloud
that makes me want to die

No one knows that underneath
I grind and clash my teeth
thinking of what i'd like to say
thinking maybe another day

I am afraid to let them see
my true identity
I have to be what they expect
if i want their respect

why does their opinion matter to me'
when i know i'm beautiful inside
why can't they just let me be
so I wouldn't have to hide

Soon this mask will be gone
and they will see that they were wrong
but the harm is already done
my mistrust they have won

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

thanks for the poem free, I think that I have always had a soft spot for the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera for very much the same sort of reasons. Keep up the great work. You have a knack for expressing your emotions well.
