Masks
I go to school
With an elaborate mask on my face.
It covers me in lies.
It makes me exuberant,
Even when I'm sad.
It gives me many friends.
But every night,
When I take my mask off,
I fall asleep crying.
I cry,
Knowing my friends
Aren't friends with the real me,
They are friends with my mask.
But if I take my mask off,
I wonder if my friends would like what they'd see,
Or if they'd turn a cold back on me.
So the next day,
I go to the fake world of school
With my mask
Still firmly in place,
And I know,
There's no way out.
