A Blank Face

I wear a mask to erase all the pain on my face,
To cover the tears and hide my fears,
To take away the scars and show the stars,
To bury my soul and make it look like im whole.

It makes it look like im smileing,
When deep down im dying,

I wear this mask to hide because i hate that i cried,
I wear this mask to get away because im afraid i'll stray,
From this world so tough im afraid i'll just say "Enough!!"
