Is it a smile or is it a frown?
My life is turning upside down
I laugh and joke and smile all day
Whilst deep inside I fade away
This mask you see is more than fabric
The face behind it hides something more tragic
This lockdown life is all too much
I need more interaction and less ‘we’ll keep in touch’
Those who seem so strong you see,
The ones you admire and aim to be
Aren’t all full of the joy they seem
Inside their thoughts can be quite mean
While I’ve been strong, I’ve held my own
I’ve tried to keep my head in the zone
Deep down inside my anxieties growing
I’m really not sure where my life is going
My thoughts are dark, my heart feels empty
My brain is full of thoughts a plenty
I can’t think forward, I can’t see clear
I just try to block out those thoughts I fear
Because even when you look really strong
So much inside can be going wrong
I can’t ask for help, I can’t share my feelings
No amount of talk will give me healing
So I’ll just sit here all alone,
Hoping that you never phone
Because if you see behind my mask
That dreaded question, you might just ask.
So next time you see me, look behind the mask
And please don’t hesitate, just ask
How are you? Are you really ok?
When I’m lost for words, my eyes will say
They will shimmer with my held back tears
They will glisten as I express my fears
Without me saying a single word
I’ll know that my feelings were all heard.
Please look out for your friends and family this lockdown. Masks and screens can hide feelings very easily.
