Underneath The Mask
Underneath The Mask
The silence is deafening
Like still water of the sea
Life buzzes by all around
Everywhere, but within me
Gossiping mouths a plenty
And fearful of judging eyes
A new day, a new smile
I paint on my disguise
On the outside I fit in
But inside I'm left out
Smiles and belly laughter
Masks pain and self doubt
Too afraid to speak up
Or do I not know how
Secrets held for so long
Too long to share now
So many people and faces
Yet no one is really there
What good are relationships
If no one knows to care
The battle within the mind
Is the hardest battle of all
When the world feels so big
And suddenly I seem so small
Suffocating under the fear
Heartbreak sets the tone
Amongst all these people
I've never felt so alone.

AUTHORThank you Manatita, as always, your words are supportive, understanding and so kind x
Despair. A big one, Luna. It is the sister of loneliness and the brother of isolation. Great insight, as every little bit helps.
