Mask
There's a hidden feeling inside me
Its bottled up and it wants to be free
Tears well up in my eyes every night
From trying to make my life look alright
Though I am troubled I wear a bright grin
Shrouding the sadness I'm feeling within
How come they don't cry?
They all act so strong,
I hide behind this mask
To feel like I belong.
I want to be myself
Not hold everything inside
To step into the light
And never try to hide
But maybe they would judge me
If I dared to let them know
What I truly believe
Afraid to let it show
My old leather Bible
Rests by my bedside
Begs to be opened
It's not satisfied
During the week
It just gathers dust
When Sunday rolls around
My life, I'll adjust
I cry out to God
For two lives I seem to live
Though I keep failing him
He continues to forgive
Then its Monday-
Time to hide my fears
I'm filled with sadness
But I bottle up my tears
I put on the mask of a happy girl
But inside my life's just a whirl
Struggling to keep the happy face
Though I'm feeling like a disgrace
How can I lend a hand
To others in need?
I need that hand for myself
Struggling with the greed
I wish I could help others
Who are going through a hard time
But I feel like I’m the one
Facing the hardest climb
Tears begin pouring down
Like steady rushing streams
I rethink my values
Rethink my dreams
On Sunday I dream
Of being God's child
On Monday I hope
My life isn't too wild
Which dream do I want?
Which dream shall I choose?
I want to be God's child
What could I lose?
I begin to turn my life around
I know I was lost, but now I feel found
All I want to do is follow my king
Show his goodness to the world
Let his glory sing.

That was fantastic. You should submit that to a magazine like Guideposts. That should be published.

angelwings is right. If you be yourself and people don't like you, that's on them not on you. They are missing out on your friendship. Your poem is beautiful.
