The Mask

They may call me all,

The names in the book.

I could care less.

No what hurts the most,

Is what I do to myself.

When no one's around,

When no one's looking

I hide my tears,

I hide the blood.

I hold back my screams.

I hold back my pain.

No one can see,

Not through my mask.

It is stronger now,

It is unbreakable.

So no matter how,

Hard you push.

Ha! Like anyone actually cares.

Not about your stupid a*s.

No sir.

You are nothing to them,

Just a waste of space.

You have to see.

You will do everyone,

not just a couple, but all

A favor.

For you to disappear,

They will throw a party.

You could make everyone happy.

All you have to do is disappear.

I am counting on you.

Do the right thing.

Take that bottle,

Take that knife,

Drive the car till there's nothing left.

Because you,

You pathetic person,

You don't deserve to live.

Ouch. This is like a stab in the heart. An intense, fearless poem that doesn't hold anything back. Well done, BH.

[BlackHeart]

Thank you so much for this review it means so much to me.

This poem is so dark, but I like it. It's not sugar coated at all. I love the line "You don't deserve to live." It's such a great way to end this poem and it's something people are usually to scared to say even though they are thinking it.

[BlackHeart]

Thank you I am glad that you like it and sugar coating things just makes it worse.

[WritingDragon]

I like it. You have done a good job.

[BlackHeart]

Thank you I am glad that you like it.

I have to say the most beautiful poems are the sad ones because that is where most of the emotion and passion lies...

[BlackHeart]

I would have to agree with you there.

[RazzySkittles]

The poem is well written, but you have a lot of really sad poems.... o.O I really like the way this is written. though. :) I think maybe you should write about something you love doing (Not in this poem ofcourse but in another poem) Weather it's your love for writing or, your favourite food etc. :) It's good to has some positive things too. :P :)

[BlackHeart]

I understand I am sorry about the poems being dark. I am not sure, I believe that I have a few that are bright just have not posted them yet. I mostly have dark poems I am not sure it is mostly my books that I write that are happy and lovey. Thank you for being honest with me though RazzySkittles
