The Mask I Wear Date: Friday, 2nd January 2004 @ 03:05:47 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: eternal_sorrows Sadness overwhelms me deep as at night alone I weep. You cannot see my pain inside yet you never even tried. I know what you wish to see as you say you're proud of me. This gentle smile on my face belongs to me with all her grace. It took sometime to place her there so daily she is what I wear. Just for you she'll smile away hoping she will make your day, as you pretend it's all real never knowing how I feel. And when you go to sleep at night assure yourself I am alright. Your security blanket hides so well that I'm still in this living Hell.
