I was once sad and lonely,
Having nobody to comfort me,
So I wore a mask that always smiled,
To hide my feelings behind a lie.
Before long, I had many friends; 5
With my mask, I was one of them.
But deep inside I still felt empty,
Like I was missing a part of me.
Nobody could hear my cries at night,
For I designed my mask to hide the lies. 10
Nobody could see the pain I was feeling,
For I designed my mask to be laughing.
Behind all the smiles were the tears,
And behind all the comfort were the fears.
Everything you think you see 15
Wasn’t everything there was to me.
Day by day
I was slowly stopping.
I couldn’t go on,
There was something missing. 20
Until now I’m still searching
For the thing that’ll stop my crying,
For someone who’ll erase my fears,
For the person who’ll wipe my tears.
But till then, I’ll keep on smiling, 25
Hiding behind this mask I’m wearing.
Hoping one day I can smile,
Till then, I’ll be here … waiting.

The last line of the poem is best described as
I have seen what words can do,
As I deal with people everywhere;
The tongue is powerful, it’s true!
Something to tame and use with care.
I’ve seen spiteful words ruin a life 5
And gentle words heal and bless;
I’ve seen careless words stir up strife
And tender words ease distress.
I’ve watched silence speak out loud
And idle chatter bring mischief; 10
Seen timely words persuade a crowd
And hasty words end in grief.
I’ve seen people eat their words
Who can’t seem to hold their tongue;
Watched them take the shame it affords 15
When they are later proved wrong.
My tongue, too, can go astray,
So, dear Heaven, help me watch with care
To whom I’d speak and what I’d say,
How I’d speak and when and where. 20

And hasty words end in grief.

Who can’t seem to hold their tongue;
Watched them take the shame it affords 15
When they are later proved wrong.
My tongue, too, can go astray,
So, dear Heaven, help me watch with care
To whom I’d speak and what I’d say,
How I’d speak and when and where. 20
