Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,170Please respect copyright.PENANAcPnwhDHtUG
painted smiles in borrowed light.170Please respect copyright.PENANAKDnC83nA0r
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,170Please respect copyright.PENANA5plmrvsPzj
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,170Please respect copyright.PENANAx3a0C2hbpN
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.170Please respect copyright.PENANAstqCDj0Css
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,170Please respect copyright.PENANAlpReCnZIda
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see170Please respect copyright.PENANAqYAPD40mNW
the war that rages inside me.170Please respect copyright.PENANATOCOe0twDO
Yet in the dark, when I am still,170Please respect copyright.PENANA0jCHULUYSD
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,170Please respect copyright.PENANAF4wTVCoCgb
they whisper truths beneath the stars.170Please respect copyright.PENANAWNYrb1qDe0
And though the world may never ask,170Please respect copyright.PENANAZR2BFH4yEE
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
