The Mask

The Mask.

I wear a mask that does not show what I feel on the inside.

People always tell me to be honest on how I feel

yet if I told my friends how I really feel

about them always complaining or when they are not there for me

it could break the bond I have with them.

I kow it is wrong to wear a mask to hide my emotions , yet

is it right to unleash the typhoon of pent up emotions

onto a friend or anybody for that matter.

I hide my emotions behind a mask and change how I show them

not in fear of getting hurt but in fear of hurting

the people I know and care for with the monster that

lives behind my mask ad is waiting

to create the perfect storm on a day

that I hope that does not come and I can not keep the monster

at bay and the mask crumbles under its storm and reveals what it has been hiding all along and what I am trying to protect you from and why I wear

a mask over my emotions so I can hold on to the ones I know and care

          for , for just awhile longer.

It is very good poetry.
A mask, you can say smile. Behind it there is lots of secret, emotions, feelings. No one can understand what type of smile is!
