Masked Emotions
June 12, 2013
There is something about me
Everyone wonders what that could be
Could it be my smile
What about my laugh
or the happiness I bring.
To me its all fake
Nothing about this shield is true
My smile is frowning
Laughing comes out as weeps
My happiness is always sad.
The story about my life
Has never been said
Everyone loves my mask
They tell me they love me
I can't believe them one bit
My emotions are all fake
I don't want people comforting me
For the way I choose to live
It's my life
You cannot lead it as you choose
Though I wish you could
