my happy mask.

Info

everyone knew me as a happy girl

they talk at my back like i never heard

i look at them and smile

guys you don't know my real story behind

they make some stories about me but its a lie

i think they're insecure that's why

i always smile like everything is fine

i go to my room and cry

i feel sorry for my pillow the way it dried up my tears

and my only true friend the mirror it never smile when i cry


even my own family doesn't know the real me

i'm like a stranger joining the family picture

i keep on doing things where i'm not comfortable with

my family and my friends know my name but not my life

why am i using this happy mask?


my face is not good for showing other people

everyday i keep on putting up my happy mask 

to make everyone think i'm happy for who i am

i wish you knew who i really am.
