MASKS

With my make up on, and a smile on my face,
I put a mask on none really knows what's the case.
I try to fit in. I try to ignore it,
I remind myself everyday that I'm worth it.
Trying to popular, trying to be cool,
I wish I knew that I'm doing this for fools.
"How do you stay so happy?", Asks a girl so shy,
"Well my life's perfect", I reply.
But I hope that someone sees through my lie,
Asks me what's wrong and asks me why.
I see videos and I read books,
People saying that it's not about the looks.
Well for them it's easy to say,
They don't have to worry about how much they weigh
They don't have to worry about being respectful and not fail
They aren't judged constantly by family and friends everyday.
I'm tired of being strong and fake
And sometimes that mask breaks,
And when no one's there my heart aches.
But then I ask myself, who am I doing this for,
No one's going to come knocking at my door.
I want to be me. I want to be free.
But I don't really know who I am anymore
I'm scared of letting my mask go.
But Deep down I know
There will just be me, myself and I on the go.
I'm sixteen. I should explore the valleys and the sky
Someday I'll find the answer to: who am I?
And I can't wait for that day,
When I'm proud of myself in every way.
When I say what's on my mind,
And I'm the best of all my abilities combined.
I can't wait to be my own bae
And put my mask away.
