Today's not halloween but, the mask is still there
The mask I continue on and on to wear
The mask that tries to hide my suffering and my pain
The mask that tries to hide my guilt and my shame
The mask that haunts me and makes me feel unwhole
        The mask that            takes from            me and kills my soul
Why do I wear this            mask and            why do I look thru it
Most dont, cant even see it, or just wouldnt do it
is this why I wear that mask             so that others can not see
        or is because I just              really hate being me    
I so hate this life I am living                  and the way its all a mess
       I so hate it so I lay here in my    mind    and dont bother getting dressed
    Just put on      the mask and it'll be ok      I say to myself
     but then I feel            non existant             like a fairy tale elf
      why is it so hard to beat               this            depression that pulls me down
   why does my mask show                   a smile when all I do is frown
Im just tired right now and feeling so alone
Maybe Ill just stay right here shadowed by this gnome
Why am I a nothing at times like these
for to feel is too much and I fall to my knees
I feel so hopeless and so much defeat
I cant even stand up on my own two feet
How do others do it walk this life this way
where do you find the stregnth to just stay


Peace and happiness to us all, Venus

Brilliant write Venus1974! I think most of us wear a mask so we can drudge through each day so you're not alone there. I can certainly relate.
