Mask Off
Putting on a show
Faking a smile
Looking happy
The kindest and happiness of people are the ones with the most hurt inside
Feeling dead
Not trusting anyone
Letting no one in to know the true you
Hidden from the world
Locking everyone out
Helping others when they are down and sad
Wanting them to be ok
Making them tell you the truth and their feelings
But not telling them yours when they ask
Telling them what they need but when that advice is giving to you you reject it
Not letting someone get close
But failing
One had broken though
Gotten close to you
Wanting to tell them the truth
Wanting to finally tell someone the truth
Not having to bottle everything inside
Letting it all out
Bubbling over you give them a hint of the truth
They catch the scent and want to know it all
Not caring the pain inside
Wanting to be there for you
Wanting to help you like you’ve helped them
Revealing the emotions
Exposing yourself
Feeling naked when the words leave your mouth
Like your telling a secret never to be told
Tears falling to the floor
Evaporating as soon as it hits
Feeling the tension inside
Releasing everything bottled
Removing the mask
No more smile
Just pain and sadness
Letting it all out for the first time
To the one special person
Not wanting to loose them after spilling your guts
Hoping you have not scared them away
Needing them as a lifeline
