Every cut upon my wrists;

The ones I always hide

And every time I've tried

To shed a tear-

I never ever cried.

I'll just have to bide

My time,

Until I can get away.

Away from here,

From this place.

Can you see my face?

Can you see my face?

No.

No. You can't see my face.

No.

No one will ever see-

I'm hurting inside.

I hide behind a mask.

A mask of calm-

A mask of peace.

What I am;

What you will never,

Never ever see-

'Cause you can't see my face

I'm hurting inside.

I answered every time you ask

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I lied.

There's nothing on my outside.

You could never see it,

Even if you tried.

I'm hurting inside.

The mask.

That's all you see.

My emotions;

All behind locked doors.

I threw away the key.

The only key,

The one and only key.

So I can never laugh,

And I can never cry.

I can never get mad-

No matter how I try.

Can you see my face?

Can't you see my face?

Why can't you see my face-

I'm hurting inside.

My expression-

Will never change.

My voice-

Will never rise.

That my emotionality

Is none.

You'd never know

If you just look at me.

And since you can never see

Never see my face-

I'm hurting inside.

Sometimes the turmoil

In my mind

Is such a battlefield-

It becomes a bind.

Choking, always squeezing

'Till my life is naught-

But water,

Seeping through my hands.

I will end it all.

Just one cut,

That's all it takes,

No more pain.

I won't be hurting,

Anymore,

But now-

I'm hiding.

Inside, behind my mask.

You can't see my face,

And when you finally do-

It'll be too late.

I'm fading fast, and all I know-

You can't see my face.

You could never see my face.

You could never see the pain I hid,

Now I'm gone without a trace.

Once I'm gone,

You'll wonder why.

You'll wonder who I was-

Behind that mask.

And while I'm here,

You should know-

You can't see my face-

But I'm hurting inside.

I'm hurting inside.

Hurting inside

'Cause you...

You can't see my face...

You can't see my face.

See my face...

I'm hurting inside...

Hurting...Inside...

I was writing this on the busride home from school. After a while, I decided it was in Raven's POV, but now I've read over it, I noticed it says a ton about a mask. If you want to think literally of my poem, its Robin. If you want it figuratively, its Raven. I consider most of my poems to be songs, so later on I'll be making a songfic out of this. It will be about Raven, though. Please reveiw, I want to know how people feel about it. Thx.
