Mask
She leaves her house.
The mask is in place.
Her emotions carefully locked away.
You see only happiness;
But inside she cries.
The pain she feels she doesn't show.
She must be strong;
Strong for those who depend on her.
But who is strong for her?
The mask is in place.
Her emotions carefully locked away.
You see only happiness;
But inside she cries.
The pain she feels she doesn't show.
She must be strong;
Strong for those who depend on her.
But who is strong for her?

This poem is over 5 years old and is from a rather dark time in my life. I've grown past that but I still like this poem enough to post it plus I feel it can relate to quite a few people.
