Her skin is covered in make-up but no-one cares what's within <br />Everyday she spends hours applying her mask that hides her from pain <br />She feels disgraced as she paints her face <br />Covering her true self <br />She can't let anyone see who she really is <br />She looks at the mirror and stares at the reflection <br />She hates the person she's become <br />Always hiding behind a mask <br />She knows she must change <br />But she doesn't know how<br /><br />fallen tears<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-girl-behind-the-mask/
