Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,137Please respect copyright.PENANAFbmq0I45v1
painted smiles in borrowed light.137Please respect copyright.PENANAZtP1vmBnVb
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,137Please respect copyright.PENANABn6yyt0Z93
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,137Please respect copyright.PENANAC8CwJ2qVFP
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.137Please respect copyright.PENANAVVLTetMO3S
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,137Please respect copyright.PENANAmA3JlkCldP
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see137Please respect copyright.PENANAMXrNAQuWUB
the war that rages inside me.137Please respect copyright.PENANAseMXtwyLNG
Yet in the dark, when I am still,137Please respect copyright.PENANA32rDLWJQLM
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,137Please respect copyright.PENANAODVVjL7Q45
they whisper truths beneath the stars.137Please respect copyright.PENANAUP3TzzV23z
And though the world may never ask,137Please respect copyright.PENANA5vDrYxJUCy
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
