I wear a mask woven of lies Hiding behind a happy facade  I wear long sleeves To cover the scars on my arm I wear oversized clothes

Without the Filters,
My sound? Is a silent night, I have no music no beats, or rhythem. My sound? Crickets on a summer day. When I was born they sang. My sound? Is a soft noise
Corrosive stares deteriorate the fragile filter my fears create. This pseudo sense of normality, is a dam for my creative profligacy.   Beneath this exoskeleton of perfection
Insercurities seem to control us, drive us to do strange things. Plastic surgery, aneorxia, 
Hostile   Everyone will agree     That is what I am.

You wonder why I wear a mask,
Redheaded girl, who sits and waits, For the days of cold to be over. Whispers of other student's rates, On the always unnoticeable cover.   The pain she feels is always real,
I talk but no one hears me I listen but am not listened to I am hiding in plain sight  
As the crowd’s conclusions falls to hush                 I could make the joker spin and blush At the lies I tell and the mask I wear At the chances I take in double dares My skin changes colors as chameleons

This fear I feel is formed from my imagination.   Constantly contemplating where my life will be stationed.
As I write this poem, I realize just how much of myself I've lost while I wear my favorite accessory,

I don't want to be thrown in a box, Shoved in a closet and kept under lock.  I don't want to be labled, and carefully put in a cabinet, only to pop up when needed in action.

They made me wear a mask when I was younger. Days went by and a new stitch was added to the mask. It was starting to fit my face perfectly. "Do this," they said. "Do that," they demanded.

What you see,
Emotion, what a rarely shown thing; That keeps some back and pushes some forward. proud some sing, while some voices are blurred. Do you hide like they do? The courage that seems to hold true.
There lay a story of a lonely sailor Taming the tumultuos sea Taming the vivid monstrosity;
We hide behind a mask of lies To keep the truth from waving "hello" and "goodbye" But have you ever cried through blood shot eyes? Hit after hit, on that emotional high Have your lungs ever hurt so bad,
Do you know what it’s like to fight to keep your tears from falling?
I stand here petrified, awaiting for the storm of judgment I want my voice to be heard, I want my voice to reach the far seas
Close my eyes Runaway and hide Don’t let them inside They’ll just hurt you, not really there for you All they do is lie   All that have tried That had sat with me while I cried
You hear my laugh, But there is a hollow ring. You see me smile, But there it's missing something. You feel my embrace, But there is hesitation. You never see me cry, This mask is my creation.
Is it bad for a girl like me to cry ?
No one sees the real me, under the smile and all the laughter, and the friendly conversation, there's a cloak of sadness covering me, depression stalking my every move, never letting me go,
masquerade. a masquerade of sorts, and i shall hide behind the velvet curtain. streaming down to cover my light, blushed face. vexation of no sorts, i too begin to believe
To be frank, this isn't much of a poem. More like a life story. No, more than a life story; try a salvation.
Pay no attention to the woman behind the  mask. She's just an  illusion of smoke and mirrors, of pulsing lights and   then she's gone.   Pay no attention
'Come out and play' that chiding voice inside my head calls out to me as I hide in the corner reclusive The scars inside are too deep for even me to see And they never break the surface

They cannot see what they do;The seperation, the argument and closed-minded confrontation, damaged by selfishness of view and heart.I break chisel against the walls in their minds.
All you see is the exterior form Instantly you judge me by my face, clothes and background Yeah I'm different, isn't everyone? Flawed human beings we are Hiding behind, creating an illusion
I'm standing here, lost among a masquerade Hiding behind my mask of secrets that I've made
Everyday, every minute I hide behind the curtain. I mask my eyes with glasses to hide the emotions. I paint the mask on my face to cover the spots. I put on clothes to hide my body
Behind these blue eyes are much more than you know Smiling, twinkling, and glowing is not always what they show
Hiding yourself away from others is often easiest to do. We don't know if society will accept us for who we are.We don't know if we will be understood.We hide behind a disguise, a façade. 
This cloak that drapes off my shoulders, It hides the truth that lies beneath. A power and strength that could move boulders, Is the same that tied an anchor around my feet. I have a mask that hides the true me,
A face, they see, a smile so wide A heart, they hear, beats strong inside. But they do not know, they cannot see, The troubles and darkness inside of me.   A girl, my age, lives so far away,
How Can I write about Who is hiding behind the curtain?
Standing behind the curtains Hiding from the crowd He really wants to see her openly But his presence is too loud   She’s been waiting for her moment It seems it’s finally here
I live in a shell like an armadillo Skinny legs, armored exterior People think I’m scared of the world Slow-witted Quiet Too weak to live without the armor    
I dream of a beautiful woman I gave birth to years ago.
The door is closing The door gets slammed behind me Always lost inside

Best I remember, it was Fourth of July She was laughing as she slid down the waterslide Jumping in, doing flips, making friends on the fly I never would’ve guessed she held a secret inside  
My very favorite comfort in life is closing my door, Not dealing with the judgment that opinions deliver, Living safe in a hollow home of maybes and seems.
Everyone's got a canvas
The smile she wears maybe a mask 
Thrown out,  Cast aside,  I knew there was no place that I could hide.  Theres nothing I can do I want to relive the things you put me through.  Holding back,  Looking back, 
I wear the mask that everyone wants to see, It changes constantly with every glance, Each one displaying different facets of who everyone sees me to be. Everyone has these masks we wear so willingly, some unknowingly.
The smile on my face masks the expressions I hold deep inside There’s so much wound up in me, but I’ve got too much pride I wear my heart on my sleeve and it’s hard to let go
How can yo
look at me  my outfit is trendy and preppy my smile always reaches one ear to anther LOOK AT ME look at my shoes my hair,tied back high as the sky in a ponay tail
I stand here before you with a smile on my face trying to determine my place in this race for success.
  And here I thought that we would write books Magazines of controversy to be shouted at and intellectualized
If you're physically sick, do you have to participate in class?
Day by day We wake up What do we say?   Day by day We get out of bed All the words we say Are just made up in our head   Day by day We paint a picture of ourselves

What do you see when you look at me? Do you see someone who is happy as can be? Did you ever think that that's what I want you to see? In truth my feelings don't comply. I had learned the skill by being a spy.
Here- Hiding in trees  Listening for any change Paralyzed in fear      
Small dark places are where I escapeSome may think it’s rather strangeThat I seek solace in this place So small and crampOne can barely breath But here there is silence  No yelling mothers 
When someone asks "Are you gay?" When someone says "You look lik a guy." When someone knows the truth they know me by no lies they just dont know it all the real alswers to their questions
When will the darkness end? Will morning ever come? Will I always have to pretend? Or will the mask be broken by some? The smile on my face, Is almost never real, I put it there to hide,
All that glitters isn't gold And all that shimmers isn't diamond Just because you think you know me, Doesn't mean you really do. I can guarantee you that I'm not The person who you think I am,
My mask is on Almost all the time, To hide the face That is truly mine.   There are few I trust To see the real me, For if you knew You wouldn’t want to see.  
Hiding, Hiding from the walk of shame Trying to avoid the path of fate when it’s already molded perfectly for your shape Filled with sorrow and despair
Once again she stood, her mirror before, Scanning the work that need be done. 'Twas time again to rise and face yet Another day under the sun.
Loveless light of the moon Rises only at night Hiding Partially or Fully Stays up for only the nocturnal Full moon Completely exposed Not doing so often Goes back to a comfortable shield
A faint yellow light shimmers Within four walls The yelling and screaming stay Within four walls As day become night I wonder if I am alive Within these four walls
Your warmth is like the sun: it radiates, everyone around feels you beaming You suspend yourself in the sky, far away from me, and everyone else I’m out there, too, like the moon I’m hidden by your light
Living two life's, I flicker between the two, Pretending the corrupt is nonexistent. I put on my mask, Hiding my imperfections, And shunting the cruel reality into a dream.
Coping mechanisms have increased Until loads of weight are placed onto my shoulder Relapses from what I once was From what I once did
I hide from you all. My true self, I cannot recall. You see what you want to see. I display a fake identity.
Truthfully I care Truthfully I will never share True feelings Truthfully I lie Silently I sigh Wishing for something more Anxiously wanting to explore
Each tear- Another brick. Each scar- Another brick. Each day- Another brick. I opened my heart to you- Another wall entirely. Will you help me build it?
