Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,318Please respect copyright.PENANAIK9WW8IkuO
painted smiles in borrowed light.318Please respect copyright.PENANAV6HwYazsom
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,318Please respect copyright.PENANAmrKeaJXSMI
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,318Please respect copyright.PENANAalV86kSU7w
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.318Please respect copyright.PENANAVa2NmE7SjM
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,318Please respect copyright.PENANAbg8V7NzlDV
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see318Please respect copyright.PENANABwyfU7Uk2L
the war that rages inside me.318Please respect copyright.PENANAT1qDaZGTBW
Yet in the dark, when I am still,318Please respect copyright.PENANAXd8gx118Hh
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,318Please respect copyright.PENANApFO7454WK6
they whisper truths beneath the stars.318Please respect copyright.PENANAQOthG7UARq
And though the world may never ask,318Please respect copyright.PENANAwY596cBvra
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
