Hidding behind a mask,
day in & day out.
Cause everyone will ask.
what its all about.

I'm sick of this mess,
why wont it go away?
It's time to confess,
whats made me sway.

All I ever feel is pain,
I'm sick of being hurt.
This feeling I cant contain,
for now I'll be alert.

This won't happen again,
I'll make sure of that.
I'm so sick of men

The body is good, but the last line does seem abrupt. Maybe refrase it? I really love the poem :)
