masks
April 4, 2011
i pretend
hide behind a mask
of smiles
of happy
behind in the closet
there is endless darkness
not even one flicker of light
no way to feel my way around
there is nothing
but it's dressed up
made to look real
but flaws. flaws are everywhere
can't see them at glance
only at depth
only through time.
i continue to hide
in that corner
shaded by overpowering smiles
because
i can't bare to show
what's really inside.
