Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,12Please respect copyright.PENANA0AtdDAeayt
painted smiles in borrowed light.12Please respect copyright.PENANADCeLhPO6H6
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,12Please respect copyright.PENANA4uBDb1WxKC
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,12Please respect copyright.PENANAUUAOf8FVid
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.12Please respect copyright.PENANA6GkdNIHNTq
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,12Please respect copyright.PENANAx8xEAwMGkZ
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see12Please respect copyright.PENANAwCz7QvDpxn
the war that rages inside me.12Please respect copyright.PENANACSAn9jei4M
Yet in the dark, when I am still,12Please respect copyright.PENANANI3uV6JNOH
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,12Please respect copyright.PENANAi7hdw5kYIw
they whisper truths beneath the stars.12Please respect copyright.PENANAlczg0lB8I2
And though the world may never ask,12Please respect copyright.PENANAm0Wad8VxUm
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
