I care
I am so sick
Of sitting here
Day after day,
Week after week.
Just watching,
Waiting,
For you to snap.
When you hide
Your feelings like that
Keeping them all
Bottled up inside;
It cannot be healthy,
Cannot be good.
Not for you,
Not for me,
Not for anyone who can see
What it’s doing to you.
It’s eating away
Bit by bit,
Day by day,
Week by week.
It’s tearing down the mask
That you’ve placed over your face.
One day you will no longer
Be able to contain it.
All that emotion
You keep hidden inside
Was meant to be freed
And won’t be caged.
So lift that mask from your face,
Just raise your head and walk with grace.
Let others see you
For whom you are.
We’re waiting
Because we care,
Because I care.

Thank you to each and every one of you! I genuinely appreciate your feedback. I see what you're saying about corrections and whatnot. Thank you, again.
I absolutely love the repetition of some lines, it really creates the image of this everlasting fortress of hidden feelings. I have no critiques on this whatsoever. Overall, it is a good poem. Keep writing! (:
Hey I'm Amie and I'll be your reviewer today
NIT-PICKS
Aside from my little nit-picks you have a lovely poem here. Maybe you could offer some kind of reflection of who the person used to be before they started wearing the mask, could be quite a nice and hopeful image to create.
Keep writing

It’s tearing down the mask the concept of a 'mask' is a bit cliche
That you’ve placed over your face. That is the exact mask that you want off, so why is this a bad thing?
One day you will no longer
Be able to contain it.
All that emotion
You keep hidden inside
Was meant to be shown
And won’t be caged.
So lift that mask from your face,
Just raise your head and walk with grace. nice line
Let others see you
For whom you are.
We’re waiting
Because we care, since when is there a 'we'?
Because I care.
There isn't much I can critique on this, it's a good poem. Good work.
I think you should know that you're very talented and I could never write this style!!

I actually have no idea how to give you advice on how to change this, because it's just too good
Plus, I can completely relate this to SO many things/people in my life.
Sooooo keep writing "HalwayThere"
