Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,318Please respect copyright.PENANA8WiAEeSGd5
painted smiles in borrowed light.318Please respect copyright.PENANASf2DvNTg46
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,318Please respect copyright.PENANA9ufuuySw6w
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,318Please respect copyright.PENANAVTgOs9w5o4
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.318Please respect copyright.PENANAANAxj22qp2
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,318Please respect copyright.PENANA6sn8WztCZw
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see318Please respect copyright.PENANAx9r0s8fLX7
the war that rages inside me.318Please respect copyright.PENANAQjAzeJUDwa
Yet in the dark, when I am still,318Please respect copyright.PENANAzOaa7RMU5p
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,318Please respect copyright.PENANABKKW6cMaga
they whisper truths beneath the stars.318Please respect copyright.PENANAAtsQsBwcE5
And though the world may never ask,318Please respect copyright.PENANAfwO86oin2r
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
