The Mask of my Life
Do you know how it feels for everyday to wake up and put on a
Mask of Lies,
Lie to everyone everyone
tell them things like,
I’m Ok,
I feel Fine,
Nothing the matter,
To have to that mask on from when when you wake to when you to sleep,
Life is more of a
Job
each day you wear it,
each time it comes off,
you have to
Run and Hide
It from everyone,
Every Time you try to talk they walk away from you,
So each time you try less and less,
By the time you're in highschool it's not as much hiding from everyone else,
As it hiding from yourself,
So people Cut
some Smoke
and others Drink
try Drugs
they do it to forget the pain,
We try to Block life out but in the end, everything falls apart back on us,
our mask falls down to the ground staring up at the
Rain

I have been dealing with stuff like this for a long time and this kinda has little thngs about what I tried and stuff that me and my friends were dealing. Like the part that talked about trying to talk to poeple and them walking. I was kinda just talking about me, my friends, everyone that goes threw this kinda stuff trying to talk to people about our problems and they just walk away from us. I really want people that don't deal with stuff like this to hear a small part of what people can feel and I want them to thnk about being nicer to the next person that feels down and is having even just a bad day. Everyone in life should be told that they are cared about and that they have someone that they can come talk to.
