Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,308Please respect copyright.PENANANDDW9IzEiT
painted smiles in borrowed light.308Please respect copyright.PENANA0CS89lj7oJ
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,308Please respect copyright.PENANApDW6zGuNvb
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,308Please respect copyright.PENANA1nTkjtav4E
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.308Please respect copyright.PENANAfiygkSnhon
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,308Please respect copyright.PENANA6KJYUuy68d
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see308Please respect copyright.PENANAL4TwWR580u
the war that rages inside me.308Please respect copyright.PENANAyJe8tWyZrJ
Yet in the dark, when I am still,308Please respect copyright.PENANAfn7mMB9QKQ
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,308Please respect copyright.PENANAPFXtjvbi9w
they whisper truths beneath the stars.308Please respect copyright.PENANAJfXEpu4Bns
And though the world may never ask,308Please respect copyright.PENANAKJG9t4zlF6
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
