Everyone wears one,
some better than others.

It's hard to see if they're lying,
or if they are crying inside.

Some use mask so well,
they're the master of disguises.

But it's also a curse too,
being able to create fake emotions
so well.

Some act as if they're important,
when they're in the shadow of someone better.

Some act calm and cool,
to hide the anger and sadness.

Some create emotions so real,
it's hard to believe they're really fake.

Some tell others they are fine,
when they actually aren't.

Some hide their depression deep down,
for the sake of others and not
let them worry so.

But when the mask has drop,
to let all see the actual person,
there may be some different reactions,
some not very pleasant.

Perhaps another day, another time,
then maybe take it off 
in front of someone,
and not be hurt by their reaction.
