smiling mask

smiling mask

A Poem by Elin Luna

I pretend to be though 
When i’m actually so weak 
I can barely stand

My reflection inside other peoples hearts 
Will I be found smiling there? 
Or is my smile just a lonely sneer? 

I smile and wave my hand 
It's easy to approach and to walk away 
And if you ask how i feel 
I’ll smile and say ”i’m happy, i’m okay” 
That way you’ll believe that this is truly me.

"I want someone important to me, who can laugh and cry with me" 
A part of me screams inside 

But i’m too far gone to see 
The good things anyone in any way could like about 
someone like me

I never cry they say 
I always cry ,you just can't see 
But its not your fault 
The fault is mine for concealing them
With this mask of mine

I realize that my mask is wrong 
I should just let it drop 
Shatter into many pieces 
Let the world see the true me 

All I ever hear from others who caught a glimpse 
Of what lays beyond my smiling mask  
Is that of a sneer and a evil laugh 
Dark words that say, "wake up, you don't feel bad, come to your senses"

So even now, I'm hesitant 
Afraid of everything 
Afraid of myself 

What if the way I am 
Is secretly the way I want to be 

Even if i would want to stay 
I would only trouble you
I don't want you to see 
This ugly disgusting and evil thing called "Me". 

Please you have to keep pushing forward 
Because even after I vanish 

I will always watch over you...

Shatter into many peaces
-pieces

All I ever hear from other who have caught a glimpse
-All I ever hear from others who caught a glimpse

Dark words that say "wake up, you don't feel bad, come to your seances"
-senses + say, ... comma after say

Otherwise the poem is great. More true than a politician's words.
