Masquerade
I erase the scars
I wrote on the page,
So no one will know.
I stifle the outbursts
Of sadness and rage,
So nothing will show.
I drink back the tears
From rejection and hate,
The promise of love
That entices too late,
And the lies of a heart
That demands that I wait,
So no one will know.
I paste on a smile
To cover the pain,
So no one will know.
I hold my head high
In the fits of rain,
So nothing will show.
I walk through my days
As if nothing were wrong,
Denying the hurt,
I pretend to be strong,
I cover my crying
With laughter and song,
So no one will know.
