Behind The Shadow Mask

 Nobody really knows what hinds behind here.

 With me saying one thing when really I feel another inside..

Shakeing and wanting to cry so badly inside.. 
Smileing and laughing on the outside.. 
How can I let others see when they may not understand me..

With them maybe thinking I just need to let it all go.

That can not always be done.

Hideing behind the shadow mask..


Scared of finences and if I am going to make it..

Unable to admit I need some help..

Not wanting to look like a failure or weak..


Hideing behind the shadow mask..
So not to have to worry about if i will be judged..


Its safe back  here even with the fears and the worrys that may also be here.. 
I dont have to worry about it all being known..

Behind the shadow mask..


 Rather or not anyone will understand..

I just sit back and think what to do..
For sometimes hideing behind the shadow mask can become very loney.. 
Even if it may feel safe..

Behind the shadow mask
