My Mask

Kimberly

My laugh hides my screams.
My smile hides my tears.
It's been this way for so many years.
Things aren't always what the seem.

I always seem so happy. 
With not a single care in the world.
But you should know sadly,
Many things go untold.

Nobody really knows who I am.
They only know my cover.
But I wish I could let it free. 
Let them know what's underneath.

But instead I practice.
My smiles in the mirror.
Then the next thing I do is
Make my fake laugh clearer.

What is wrong? You need help?
Is all they will ask.
So I have decided
To live behind my mask.
