They think they know me all so well, <br />But behind this mask I secretly dwell. <br />I hide my thoughts, my feelings too, <br />I hide so well from all of you. <br /> <br />I smile away the tears that fall, <br />I show no sign of weakness at all. <br />I hide behind an empty screen, <br />I’m different inside, not what I seem. <br /> <br />My hurt and tears get locked away, <br />And forever behind this mask they'll stay. <br />No matter how hard they try to escape, <br />I’ll hide away all my mistakes. <br /> <br />I hide me well, every day, <br />Forever in disguise I’ll stay. <br />I’ll smile away the tears that fall, <br />I’ll show no sign of weakness at all.<br /><br />Zoe Howarth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/behind-my-mask-2/
