Breaking Masquerade
Crying silently
So that someone will hear
Hiding a path
So that someone will follow
Closing the door
So that someone will come through
Pushing away
So that someone will care
Covering clues
So that someone will find them
Forming a shell
So that someone will crack it
Running away
So that someone will catch me
Locking windows
So that that someone will break them
But I just get lost
Lost in my closed room
Of panic
No way out
Out of this fortress
I made
Is there still hope
Hope that all is
Not gone
Does the white winter snow
Snow over all and
Forever
Am I all that is left
Left and abandoned
Is there someone out there
Out there and
Searching
Does anyone know
Know that I am still here
Wearing a mask
So that someone will see my real face
Admitting to nothing
So that someone will see my sins
Writing not-truths
So that someone will see that it’s real
Hiding in corners
So that someone will break down the walls
Do it now
Do it now or I will not
Survive

The Good: Wow!!! This is awesome! I loved how conflicting it was, because it is so true. Nobody ever lays bare their weaknesses, and you portrayed the not-so-logical reasoning behind their actions. Amazing job!
The Bad: I think you could take out the part about the snow - it doesn't seem to fit.
The Random: I just wanted to say, in all your poems, I love how creative you are with spacing. It's very cool!

I agree with the part about the snow, but it's a song and I needed an extra line to make it sound right :/
And hey, thanks for the compliment! Nobody has ever commented on my spacing before ^^
