Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,195Please respect copyright.PENANAioAzER0bzk
painted smiles in borrowed light.195Please respect copyright.PENANAKKIqDgOtCp
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,195Please respect copyright.PENANAiMR9SEnVWq
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,195Please respect copyright.PENANAeYXkme16le
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.195Please respect copyright.PENANAt8OpxM6g9k
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,195Please respect copyright.PENANAwbHeVcHSHA
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see195Please respect copyright.PENANAikTH473dqc
the war that rages inside me.195Please respect copyright.PENANAA5Uh1ZPuc9
Yet in the dark, when I am still,195Please respect copyright.PENANAYVtTcPOORB
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,195Please respect copyright.PENANAumQuhsEhBN
they whisper truths beneath the stars.195Please respect copyright.PENANAeD3Vl8Bpg2
And though the world may never ask,195Please respect copyright.PENANAzxIRbZ9w4K
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
