The Mask

You see the bright smile

But its actually fake

I wore a mask long ago

And it was very hard to make

This mask I wear 

Is so nobody hears

The hurt, the suffering

And my deepest fears

He was like the sunshine

Like the rain

But all he gave me 

Was deep dark pain

The sound of his voice

Was like the greatest song

But what I should have noticed was

He was playing me all along

He was like a dream

But truthfully a nightmare

He messed me up

So why should I care?

Because it doesn't help to look away

His picture is imprinted to my mind

And every time I look at him, I cant move

And I know his heart wonders, unlike mine

But I don't seem to care

Not at all 

Because my heart is set

And I realize someday I will fall

Now, I wear this mask

So nobody hears

The hurt, the suffering

And my deepest fears.

the resentment we feel after being broken and the camouflage we put to hide it all.... a very nyc expressive poem.
