Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,353Please respect copyright.PENANAfIbVPBYMU2
painted smiles in borrowed light.353Please respect copyright.PENANARIHzrT0n79
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,353Please respect copyright.PENANACIOQV9pIbW
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,353Please respect copyright.PENANALsdDWt1gTD
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.353Please respect copyright.PENANAHDhlTihZvM
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,353Please respect copyright.PENANAqXDgWYYCnh
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see353Please respect copyright.PENANAA6vYDrdxQb
the war that rages inside me.353Please respect copyright.PENANALsbJTnU7HM
Yet in the dark, when I am still,353Please respect copyright.PENANAhicPrZmZ0P
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,353Please respect copyright.PENANAWb7qPkb9UI
they whisper truths beneath the stars.353Please respect copyright.PENANAfhhbxSm7xf
And though the world may never ask,353Please respect copyright.PENANAxMLcRzajmp
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
