Me and sadness
Broken feelings
Hurt emotions
Painful cries
No one knows
How many scars
Innumerable tears
I hide behind
My masked face
For i was once
A happy soul too
Kind and caring
Simple and trusting
But this world
Pierced the fabric
Of my soul
Through its backstabbing
And selfishness
And I tried
To cope with my failings
Tried to hide my pain
But people
Didn’t let me
So I became
A masked man
But sometimes
This mask cracks
Glimpses of my old self
Are visible
Through its gaps
But I have changed
And this world will see
A new me
When I take off
My mask again
