The Mask I Wear *2*( I wear a mask *2*)
Though my problems I can't truly explain.
I constructed these walls to hide my pains
to replace the countless tears I cried.
Now all my tears remain dried.
I WEAR A MASK for each problem I face.
So people never see a hint or trace
of the difficulties and sorrows, I hide.
Those things I keep buried inside.
I wear the mask even though it's not real.
For it is the only way I'm able to deal
with the way, people act towards me.
I just pretend to always be happy.
Sometimes it hurts to get through a day.
If I don't respond then I'm not sure what to say
I struggle with the pains in everything I do.
Please understand I still appreciate you.
