What mask do I wear



I Wear a mask constantly
Not a face mask but a mask that hides me
A mask that hides the real emotions within me
A mask that hides my personality or identity
A mask to hide things about myself I think others hate a mask I use to seem like the others I wear a mask myself and it hurts
Not being able to tell anyone because I overthink, I overthink about if they think I'm weak for talking or crying and yelling about it, a mask I think I need to be happy..
