Masks

 

On the outside you see

Someone happy and carefree

Full of smiles, giggles, laughs and prosperity

Focused, determined, set on accomplishing goals,

A character that shines with a heart full of gold

 

But no one sees what’s going on inside,

The anguish, despair, the desire to die

The hurt, the pain, the endless tears,

The worry, the question, “why am I still here?”

 

No hope, no happiness, only pointless desires

Asking God to, please, extinguish my fire…

Of a life that’s a waste, no purpose at all

But with the masks she wears,

You wouldn’t know it at all….
