Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,127Please respect copyright.PENANAVSokbkgEW1
painted smiles in borrowed light.127Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZHyzZZVxF
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,127Please respect copyright.PENANAokx5UFP0Wl
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,127Please respect copyright.PENANAOvAOLPaPLh
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.127Please respect copyright.PENANAgzsc8HGV8i
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,127Please respect copyright.PENANAwnMPF8qaPS
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see127Please respect copyright.PENANAov2g7T7Moj
the war that rages inside me.127Please respect copyright.PENANAPFibX9XT1Y
Yet in the dark, when I am still,127Please respect copyright.PENANAWF7ofQK36q
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,127Please respect copyright.PENANAiQB6aWlM5n
they whisper truths beneath the stars.127Please respect copyright.PENANAD34pA35Iet
And though the world may never ask,127Please respect copyright.PENANAlAMx7Aovt3
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
