I wear a clay mask <br />A mask of strength and happiness <br />That its true task <br />Is to cover my true sadness <br />A loss so deep and discerning <br />It makes my body yearning <br />For something to fill this void <br />That seems to always loid <br />Around my broken heart of despair <br />Yet so many people seem to care <br />Its pain is still so very deep <br />Of a loss I wish to not ever seek <br />So I wear this mask of happiness and strength <br />For I know its job will soon fall to length <br />For all the sadness and pain I have endured <br />This mask is going to fall <br />As a building to tall <br />So I know <br />It will shatter and fall <br />So I pray for you all <br />That you will not fall <br />To such a loss of mine <br />So terrible in mind<br /><br />Eric Mills<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/failing-mask/
