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 ^^
