Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,171Please respect copyright.PENANAafexsdWWWf
painted smiles in borrowed light.171Please respect copyright.PENANA2AxtSjlVMJ
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,171Please respect copyright.PENANAW133HaRmMl
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,171Please respect copyright.PENANAGsTlb50u3Z
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.171Please respect copyright.PENANAe3p80r5MFx
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,171Please respect copyright.PENANA7KVzht3azJ
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see171Please respect copyright.PENANAiJhJ8wsbxk
the war that rages inside me.171Please respect copyright.PENANA5VcRhy0GF0
Yet in the dark, when I am still,171Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0GpjmvBdA
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,171Please respect copyright.PENANASsPaKUsH02
they whisper truths beneath the stars.171Please respect copyright.PENANAEBmAeyZV2W
And though the world may never ask,171Please respect copyright.PENANAHyJHqzQjmq
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
