Stuck inside
Herself
Holding back tears
Hiding behind her mask
Her happy smiling mask
This mask
It isn't like other masks
Other masks just sit on your face
Lifeless
This mask
It hurts
Deep inside
Smiling hurts her
But she keeps the mask on
Trying to be happy for other's sake
Trying with all her strength
Or what she has left of it
Losing hope
Hurting inside
Trying not to show
All the pain
Tearing every part of her life away
Inch by inch
Without realizing
She hides the pain
Using the last amount
Of strength inside her
To try and pull away
Making sure
The only one that feels pain
Is her
