I have got to stop writing at 3:00 in the morning...lol


Poem Artwork

Carefully crafted mask
Conceals emotions lurking within
Tired of hiding
Hard to pretend things are ok
When they're not
Nothing is fine
This smile is a lie
Don't feel like laughing
I'd much rather cry
Tired of being the strong one
Don't want to admit
I'm a fake
Maybe I can't do it all
But I have to try
Do it all with a smile
But my smile hurts my face
So I wear this mask
And hide

Excellent (but concerning) write. Also, picture looks great! People don't realize you drew that I imagine!
