Life might be unfair, but the coffee is half decent


The mask I wear has many cracks in it
It reveals my permanent frown always
Nobody knows that I daily wear it
It's beginning to crack with passing days
Along with my life, everything crumbles
Family, "friends", the truth is too painful
No energy left, I'm too humble
The cracking mask falls like a glass pane, full
Of the truth, anger, and words of my soul
I try and pick up pieces of the truth
Falling into a deep, depressing cold void
"I'm fine." "I'm tired." "I'll be okay. " I say
The mask hides the truth, and so it shall stay

It's hard to truly explain how I feel, but I'm trying and struggling.
