The Mask

I’m great, fine, spectacular. I relish every night, and I live every day.I live, I laugh, I write, I sing,I wonder what the new days will bring.

I’m great, fine, spectacular. I relish every night, and I live every day.I live, I laugh, I write, I sing,I wonder what the new days will bring.Then I get home, and I take off the mask.The day, and almost impossible task, Is finally over, and so I lie down, and wait patiently for the day that I die.I cry, I scream, I bawl, and sleep,even though I have promises to keep.I wait, and wonder, and cry some more, And I ache and burn from my very core.Then, I’m not alone, and the mask reappears:Out goes the grief, pain and all of the tears,As I am a happy person, cheerful all the day.A world full of rainbow, not one shade of grey.Of course I’m not okay, I’m not fine,No matter how much I seem to shine.I don’t even know why I feel this...Why my existence is one long, endless abyss.But it is, and will be, so I cling to life,As one day I might slip, and end it with a knife.But, I’m still here, no matter what my dreams might sayAnd I hope that one day I will actually be okay.                                                                                                                                         www.bestteenpoems.com
