I wear a mask for work
and for life.
I turn it with ease,
only a few has seen the true me.
I smile, but is it real?
I laugh, but at what?
You say that I am strong,
and positive in what I'm doing.
Look the other way,
I'll shed tears endlessly
like any other person.
Look at me once
you see a smile that is forced,
words that come with ease,
yet they drain me.
I wear a mask to hide
the real me that you fear.
You want me to be me,
but can you handle it?
Can you take the dark side
that hides in the depths of my heart?
The laughter that sends chills
down your spine?
Or
Would you rather
hear the laughter
that relieves you,
with the smile
that you say looks nice on me.
Remember,
I am just a human wearing
two masks.
Hiding my true self
only to please the corporate
so I can live off the money.
But what is my true smile,
my real laughter,
and my heart felt words?
Only a few will know.
Only a few...
