Sweet inside
puts on a mask to hide
look bad-assed
it won't last
break into pieces
pain declines releases
hurts to feel soft
like you aren't tough enough
but a whole army couldn't survive your torment
grown men would run for shelter
from the hail storms of your mind
would leave the strongest person blind
but your mask is a thousand layers of pure cement
and everyone says you're fine
but you know deep inside you're desperately crying
sweet inside
put on your mask to hide
because you're not who you are

great post..one small change suggested..last line.."because you're not who you are"...to "because you're not who you say you are"..just a thought..peace

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Great poem and I do agree that you should change the ending alittle but otherwise a nicely worded poem.

Dreams are the the gateways to making the impossible possible
So many words, for the broken heart...

Change the ending if you wanna, but this should hit a lot of people right where it counts.  I think more than once in our lives we've covered our pain up so others would not think us weak.  Great work here...by the way, No angel is pathetic.

Hey, great poem! really a lot of people are like that I guess...just to keep others believe that they are strong...but I guess sometimes it'snot a good thing...cuz you have to let those feelings and stuff out sometime...

take care and keep up the good work!
love, Virgin Suïcide...
