My life unseen
My life is unseen
You do not know me
You may not even see me
I can't see me
I cannot even find me
Where might I be
You may think you know
But even I do not
You do not see the tears
you only see a smile
Some may call it a smile of pain
smile of life
smile of death
I call it a mask
it masks my life
my life unseen
About this poem
I wrote this in a dark place, about hiding underneath a mask and living without showing anyone this fact.
