The Girl that cried behind the smiles <br /> <br />The mask was well made <br />Worn everywhere <br />No one seems to think twice <br />When they saw her standing there <br /> <br />As happy as she could be <br />A smile bright and well worn <br />Through her stare you can see <br />The mask was old and torn <br /> <br />Cold and weary <br />No wrinkles by their sides <br />No shine or twinkle <br />These were her eyes <br /> <br />A face of contradiction <br />No one understood why <br />A picture of confusion <br />Was the best lie <br /> <br />When finally removed <br />All was revealed <br />The girl whose tears were hidden <br />Her face was now unveiled <br /> <br />Tears and sadness <br />Held deep within the heart <br />Don’t try to hide them <br />That’s when the pain starts <br /> <br />The girl who wears the mask <br />Will anyone ever see <br />The one who hides the pain <br />That girl is me<br /><br />Tibny Shine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tears-behind-the-mask/
