Mask

My smile hides my tears

My laugh hides my screams

It's been this way for years

Things aren't as they seem.

I always seem so happy

Without a care in the world

But you should know badly

Lots of things go untold

Nobody really needs to know me

They only get to know my cover

But I wish to let all go free

Reveal to all what's been under

But instead, I practice

My smile in the mirror

And the next thing to do is

Make my fake laugh clearer.

Whether how much I call

Myself to be Philophobe

Deep inside all I want

Someone to prove me wrong

What is wrong? You need help?

It's all they always ask

So I have decided

To live behind a MASK
