MONDAY...I'll pretend
I'll put on my best smile and be your 'friend'
I'll give you my shoulder to lean on
When I think your pathetic..I want you gone
TUESDAY...I'll be so fake
All pretty and cheery hiding my mistake
I'll put on my make up and come to greet
Beauty is what you see as I stifle the ugly beneath
WEDNESDAY...I'll be a lie
I'll smile when i'm sad and laugh when I cry
I'll do what I hate
My lies are growing at such a rate
THURSDAY...I'll deceive
Lipstick and mascara you will receive
You'll talk to my 'mask' all day
This deception will be the game I play
FRIDAY...I'll hide
I'll lock my feelings so tight inside
I'll show you nothing that's real
All will be hidden until I heal
SATURDAY...I'll be oh so happy
I'll borrow my face from monday but no one will see
I'll share all my laughter
I've got time to be depressed after
SUNDAY...I'll break down
I'll take off my face and pretendious crown
No matter how hard I try
From me myself and I..I can't seem to hide..

This is very good thank you for entering...

this had so much truth to it, and how makeup seems to mask away the true you, as well as make it seem that you are wearing a mask I also liked how you separated the stanzas by doing it by days this was an enjoyable read and I wish you luck in each contest you have entered this in

I really enjoyed this poem, it was very original and had so much truth in it. Thanks for entering!
-
This was great!! You really captured the depth of the quote and I love the idea of doing every day of the week. :]
I think Tuesday & Sunday were my favorites. I liked how you switched it from hiding each day, to finally breaking down at the end of the week.
And I'll agree with YoureNoGoodForMe -- I loved the title.
Wonderful job -- best of luck! Thanks for entering<3

Amazing job with the quote. I absolutely loved how you put this together, with the days of the week. That was a very creative idea, and I give you kudos for that =) I also loved the rhyming, and how every day of the week it was either deceive, hide, etc. Very interesting touch to the piece. And can I say I love the title? I'm sure many can relate, and I've definitely been there before. Beautiful poem. Thanks for entering our contest & good luck ! ♥
