Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,193Please respect copyright.PENANADIOpAibYe3
painted smiles in borrowed light.193Please respect copyright.PENANAS6PuF7bLmo
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,193Please respect copyright.PENANAEiXNIffspM
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,193Please respect copyright.PENANA092AliyiYp
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.193Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7YmIkhNi0
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,193Please respect copyright.PENANALOhFwtQRbN
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see193Please respect copyright.PENANAeFvrxrSR29
the war that rages inside me.193Please respect copyright.PENANAEa9nvn5uPI
Yet in the dark, when I am still,193Please respect copyright.PENANAg1Y0bTRnqh
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,193Please respect copyright.PENANA7iZISfGisf
they whisper truths beneath the stars.193Please respect copyright.PENANArbZ6Y5f2SI
And though the world may never ask,193Please respect copyright.PENANA957sa3LdsZ
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
