Hiding the tears??

Every morning I wear a mask on my face
Determined to hide that I'm truly afraid
And nobody knows the truth in my lies
All the nights I've laid with tears in my eyes


And still they think they know me so well
That I'm happy and proud and they always can tell
That I've always shined like a tiny pearl
But I'm just a scared, unconfident girl
I show courage and appear to be strong
But that's just to stop questions from being asked far too long


As I sink to the bottom of a very dark hole
I feel like I can't let anyone know
It's my burden not theirs, I can deal with the load
But sometimes I wish I didn't feel so alone

The mask on my face is starting to fade
And I'm worried to find I'll be left and betrayed
If everyone knew the real me underneath
All my laughter and smiles with teeth


The sad little girl who can no longer fake a smile
Who can no longer walk the extra mile
The girl who watches all her dreams die
With sorrow she can no longer hide

So the mask must stay on
For who knows how long
To hide all the misery and fear
And cover it all with happiness and cheer


-Everyone may think my life is perfect but guess what they are wrong about it...I know where i stand right now.
