Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,291Please respect copyright.PENANAyCPro65bXV
painted smiles in borrowed light.291Please respect copyright.PENANAVWsJJuMykn
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,291Please respect copyright.PENANA9I5DkkrD1w
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,291Please respect copyright.PENANA9etyG8nwha
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.291Please respect copyright.PENANAkbmbXSqR2M
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,291Please respect copyright.PENANApy3IXmK8P1
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see291Please respect copyright.PENANAD1jcgaCR7f
the war that rages inside me.291Please respect copyright.PENANA9gUKMjowxK
Yet in the dark, when I am still,291Please respect copyright.PENANAI7OJN8nXP5
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,291Please respect copyright.PENANADb7kJVOMvb
they whisper truths beneath the stars.291Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2lS4UQMyX
And though the world may never ask,291Please respect copyright.PENANAf3MFyKCiCS
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
