Mask
All this pain inside
 burning,
 itching,
 acheing,
 to get out.
 Feeling utterly
 useless,
 alone,
 confused,
 and I dont know why.
 I cut to numb the 
 pain,
 sorrow,
 agony,
 I feel everyday.
 
 At school I pretend I'm fine,
 like nothings wrong.
 Laugh when I need to,
 and smile when I have to.
 So far no one has seen 
 behind my mask.
 I've worked so hard o create it.
 No one can break through,
 no one can tell I'm living 
 a complele lie.
 
 I cry out all the
 lies,
 secrets,
 dignity,
 everything I wish I could say.
 Wishing I didnt have to
 fake,
 lie,
 pretend,
 everyday of my life.
 Screaming in my head for someone to
 help me,
 see me,
 save me,
 from myself.
 
 But realizing it will never happen.
 So i just get out of bed,
 and start it all over again.....
