Masked Face Sweetheart

She chooses to sit in the back of the class-

For fear of showing her true self

Masked face sweetheart, what are you so afraid of?

She sits solitary at lunchtime-

Homework never done on time

How has the stress burdened you so?

The school counselor sits her down-

Asks her why she always frowns

There was only silence to fill the void

It was the day of the presentation

No ones ever heard her speak-

Why would she let them now?

Mental breakdown in the bathroom

Makeup streaming down her face

She just wants to get away from there

Humiliation was met, in her mind it was set-

On how she would end things

Morning came and she was running late

Her father yelled at her to hurry the f*ck up-

We don't have all day

Thoughts filled her head

Tears rolled down her eyes

Masked face sweetheart, why are you in so much pain?

She popped the pills in her mouth-

Without any second thoughts

Soon her sufferings would be gone

She sat in her bed

She laid down her head

Masked face sweetheart was dead
