She with the Mask

She wears a mask everyday,
binds it tight across her face...
a wide smile across the \"face\"
for all to see...

The mask is laid down when its dark,
the knots come loose, the smile faded.
the face of a disillusioned and jaded being;
The hurt and agony oozing from the long-forgetten scars.

The tears flow, like a steady stream,
trickling down a face the world hasn\'t seen;
No one can share the pain and misery,
the empty silence echoing deep into the stillness;
the stillness of the night..

At the crack of dawn, when life awakens,
ready to embrace yet another day;
Up goes the mask; bounded even tighter;
the smile\'s there again;
only brighter and cheerier..

Beneath the mask;
the unshed tears are still in existence,
shielded and trapped by the \"face\";
Signs of entrapment, signs of loneliness...

When will the mask cease to exist?

When will she be free?

Would she ever be free?
I wrote this a few months back and I was just lazing around when I just started typing it onto the Journal section..it's still there, but just wanted put this piece at where it's supposed to be...

It was written at a point of my time when I just felt sad and depressed,well sorta..Its just those moments that one has when they feel really useless(??) and lonely...

I do welcome any comments, both the good, the bad and the ugly... lol
