What to you think of this poem i wrote? it's called face behind the face?

I hide myself so you don't see

the girl that cries when things go bad

that smiles when shes sad

and gets quiet when shes mad

I hold my tongue

so you don't hear

the secrets that ive kept

regrets i don't forget

and prayers that go unmet

I look away so you don't see

the fire in my glare

the ice in my stare

or the tears hidden behind a glaze

because that's the face behind the face...

the inspiration for this is a line from a book i read, in which the girl talks about a face behind a face behind a face, and i think everyone wears some sort of a mask to hide their true self. tell me what you think, good or bad, i want to know so i can improve my writing

Update:

for anyone who wants to see another...

    I really like this poem. I like the flow of each line. Keep up the good work. I agree that at some time or another, we all have hidden our true feelings.
