The mask of my soul

If you had to write something this very moment, what would it be?

An empty shell
With an empty mind
Even still I try
To stay kind. 

This wall I wear
Is but a lie
For no one can see
Only on I can I rely. 

I show my smile
I say my thanks
My friends believe
In all my fakes.

Do not mistaken
I love them all
But none can know
How far I fall. 

Has it always been
Or is this just beginning
This vacant emotion
Has me relenting. 

Stopping on the edge
Something keeps me from going
Deep inside I feel, I hear the screams
Of my heart beating and knowing

That it's...OK.

Beautiful 'mask' poem. I wrote one recently called 'Domino' and submitted it for the same contest.
I'd say as critique here, work on meter a little bit, since it changes a lot
Be careful not to force rhymes
Besides that, nice job and good luck! :)
