behind this PAINTED smile
there lies the fallen TEARS
stories of my past and present
REFLECTING on my silent years
these SCARS that haunt my body
but bring freedom to my SOUL
scare some AWAY while others stay
as I TRY to maintain self-control
~
exposed am I
but not for LONG
back on the mask
that's NOT long gone
PAINT back on the smile
to hide the FALLEN tears
build back up this broken WALL
so no one will longer see
the BROKEN hearted me...
