The Mask

she used to be a jolly person
to smile and laugh is what she always do
always happy and never gloomy
giving happiness to those who are blue

but what they dont know
and what she doesnt want to show
that under her smile
is sadness and sorrow

a smiling mask
is what she puts on
"does she even get sad?"
they would never know

then he came into her life
and he took off her smiling mask
he said its ok to show how you feel
whether its happiness or sadness
just show what is real

and he went away
but he promised he'd come back
when will this happen?she's not sure of that
so while he's away
to her old self, she'll go back
again she's always smiling and laughing
the mask, she puts on back
