Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,118Please respect copyright.PENANACqWu7OaOar
painted smiles in borrowed light.118Please respect copyright.PENANAATzmaJupBS
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,118Please respect copyright.PENANAKI4JJ5TzI1
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,118Please respect copyright.PENANAu7TOvVjYPa
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.118Please respect copyright.PENANAnZaj3aRcVi
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,118Please respect copyright.PENANAL2aIhHfJOg
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see118Please respect copyright.PENANAkmVOrJ5Sz0
the war that rages inside me.118Please respect copyright.PENANA1NACPx7awS
Yet in the dark, when I am still,118Please respect copyright.PENANAqBvA7gwZ30
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,118Please respect copyright.PENANAXyDbQDuHFb
they whisper truths beneath the stars.118Please respect copyright.PENANAf38CiaQQIl
And though the world may never ask,118Please respect copyright.PENANAZG5IzZWDLu
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
