Why must I hide my true self?
You say that you will love me
No matter what.
But I know better.
You love the mask that conceals
My real emotions.

But one day, my facade will slip.
And you will finally realize:
That quiet, yet outgoing and funny girl you know
Doesn't exist.
She is but a mask.

She is quiet, carefully keeping her emotions
In check.
She is outgoing so she is not left behind.
She is funny so as to distract herself
From her sadness.
She hides from you
The fact that I am breaking down inside.

Do you understand?
The hurt in my eyes?
The echo of a sigh barely whispered?
The rare occasions when I truely smile?
You probably don't.
It is not your fault.
Few can see behind my mask.
My first deviation that isn't about religion! I had part of this written for a while but I was inspired to finish it when I saw this: [link] .

But I also really liked reading [link] ,[link] ,and [link] .

Constructive critisism is encouraged! I'm really new to writing stuff that other people are going to read so I'd love to hear suggestions! :thanks:
