Mask

Everyday

I wish

For something to be different

Everyday 

I hope 

But it never changes

Everyday

I have

No choice

But to bury my emotions

Deeper and Deeper

Farther and Farther

 

Happy 

Happy

Happy 

You are happy

If everyone

Thinks your fine

You are fine

Bury my emotions 

Deeper and Deeper 

Farther and Farther

If I continue to wear a mask

I become the mask

 

Everyone else 

Has it much harder

You have to be 

Happy 

Happy 

Happy

 

If your mask cracks

Fix it

If it falls

Grab it

You are only broken

If you don’t conceal yourself

 

But you will always 

Always

Always

Always

Feel broken

You will always want

More than 

Happy

If you are always

Wearing a mask

You become the mask

 

Sometimes 

Things have to break

To heal

    Every time 

    I try to speak

    My voice is trapped

    Stuck between reality

    And imagination

    Between my mind 

    And my throat 

     

    Stuck in a loop

    Unable to reach beyond
