Behind my eyes
Storms rage
Secrets lie
Pain sears
Like a thousand knives
Behind my smile
worlds crash
Cuts are exposed
Vulnerable, drowning
Wishing you knew
All over my body
Scars tell a tale
Carefully hiding
Dangers untold
The extra layers you tease
Come after a long battle
Stress mounting
With every breath
My world is ragged
My armour torn
A far cry
From the one you adorn
Sometimes I wonder
If you'll ever see
What lies behind the mask
