The mask

They smile, laugh and carry on with life with no regret they crave your approval and seem to be positive to everyone that they met

How could one person be this way every day but that same person lives life full of pain thinking as they lay

They put up a front for people but inside they burn with regret their pain knows no bounds all they wish is to forget

Forget all their suffering forget their pain forget their loss the life they lived is heavy with burden nothing comes without cost

But on the outside their smile is to bright to be seen everyone around them can feel their acting their performance playing out on a screen

They’ll hide all their pain if it’s for others approval they’ll keep it in letting it grow all it needs is a tragedy like a fire burning when you add fuel

Their a ticking time bomb at any moment they’ll blow but who would notice when everyone has been watching a performance hooked by the show

It’s as though their living a double life with them growing more hatred for people like a origin story for a person who is turning to darkness turning evil

Be careful of the ones who have a mask be wary or you just might be caught up with them and be the first one they’ll bury
