Title: Masks
Masks
You act as though everything is fine,
But inside you know the truth.
Everything you know has gone wrong,
But you pretend as though it hasn't.
You put on a show for people,
You don’t tell then what has gone wrong.
You let them think that you're happy,
Although you know that you're not.
Your life has been good and bad,
But the bad things seem to stand out.
But others don't seem to know,
How you're really feeling inside.
As far as they know you're okay,
Because you don't let them in.
You tell them that nothing is wrong,
So that they don't question your pain.
Life is a schlep and we know it,
But sometimes it sucks a lot more.
Our friends know so much about us,
But not everything that we feel.
You want them to know what is wrong,
But you don't think that they'd understand.
So you keep it all bottled inside,
And hope that it won’t be found.
Some people find it some don't,
But the ones who do don't care.
They say they'll help but they don't,
They pretend that they're there but they aren't.
They think they can help your problem,
They say they've been there before.
But the truth comes out that they haven't,
Not even the slightest amount.
By keeping emotions inside,
You don't let anything out.
No one knows what it up,
So they think that it's all the same.
The show you put on is a good one,
You got them all playing along.
The truth is that nothing is real,
Your whole life is just one big mask.
A Storyteller Topic - Kids Are Poets Too
Poetry is a great way to express yourself, whether you're feeling down or on top of the world. There are many different types of poems and remember, they don't have to rhyme.
