I hide behind a mask
You can't see my face
Looking at first glance
I'm in a happy place
The truth is, that's a lie
But you can't really tell
that in the back of my mind
I think the world should rot in hell
What's the point of living
If we are all going to die
What's the point of being happy
If in the end we're going to cry
But this is something no one sees
This is something no one knows
And yet deep inside of me
This feeling of hatred grows
So even though this mask reveals a happy side of me,
I use the mask as a shield to look at what others can never see.

i know someone has someething to say about this one..

Kids think they know so much
Or are they looking for shock affect?
Nice poem, sorry for your pain.
Life owes no one nothing
You'll get out of it,
What you put in.

Shadows can be downright scary. So can the darker emotions. Amazing
what for one person can become a light, yet for another - well not such
a happy place.

Interesting dear... but some see thru the masks...

A mask that's worn; but deflects love
And brings misery and pain
Discard the mask, and bare your soul
So you can smile again.

If all wore masks, as you, my dear
We'd all be in the dark
The mask will surelykfill the flame
Before there is a spark.

Edit: "will surley kill the flame"..
