So long, Farewell

A poem I wrote recently. Struggles of everyday life

It looks like I've made up my mind.

I'm going to hide like I used to.

 My shell protected me, saved me from that awful thing we call the world

now a days.

Only they get to see the nothingness that fills me inside.

 No one wants to see the true me.

No one wants the never ending void of black.

So here on out, my mask will forever be glued back on.

From here on out a smile will always cover this ugly thing I call a face.

 You will forever know me as the girl that never stops smiling.

Say farewell to the girl that you see now, for she will always be an abomination and an outcast.

 So long true self, farewell.

Only they get to see the nothingness that fills me inside.

No one wants to see the true me.

The world is expecting from the mask from us, so no choice, we will wear it with great pain, can we take it off at least we look in the mirror when we alone, or when we become an indendependent writer, I still doubt as walls have eyes and ears, poems are read by the readers not from mars, so no mercy there too, so we will take it off when we dream, sorry I can not find a solution for this

Every face has a mask and every mask has a meaning.
The meaning here is very clear and powerful.
But don't be afraid to let that mask slip a little if it weighs too much.
And don't be afraid to lift the mask for the people that matter.
