Behind my mask

Sun, 02/23/2020 - 03:44 -- Psych0

You asked..
"what's the reason behind your mask"
To hide from my past.
To hide the fact that I'm dead inside
This mask is to hide...
So i don't have to explain my pain.
My fears and all my useless tears.
I want to pretend with you.
Like I do with everybody else.
because that's for the best.
because i feel like there's nothing left for me to do.
There is a knot in my chest
and it won't untie.
Feels like everything is going black.
because you'll never love me back.
So I go and hide.
And you ask.
"What's the true reason behind your mask"
This mask is to hide that I constantly have your name running through my brain.
To hide the fact that might have gone insane.
To hide the real.
To hide how I really feel.
I am hiding my feelings and how strong they grew.
The true reason why I wear this mask, is to hide that I am in love with you.
