Ajax (he/xe)

Hiding Beneath a Mask

I hide under a mask

To make sure no one sees

The person I hide

The me inside of me

I put on a bright smile

To conceal my pain

But when I\'m alone

I look at myself in shame

I won\'t open up

Afraid to be a bother

People expect me to be perfect and smart, 

I hate to disappoint

But I\'m not like that at all.

I\'m just some stupid mistake

Far from a work of art.
