I look in the mirror

Who do I see

A stranger looks back at me

Unanswered questions 

Pop in my head

Closing my eyes tight

I repeat several times

Who do you see

Not today 

I must be strong

Don't break now

Can't let the tears fall

Don't let others down

Take a deep breath

Soon the mask is in place

Feelings pushed back 

A smile on my face

Face the world

Don't let on

Hide the pain

Don't show the hurt

Do you see me
