Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,120Please respect copyright.PENANA4zZ1D094gg
painted smiles in borrowed light.120Please respect copyright.PENANA5Nx8cgfrkC
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,120Please respect copyright.PENANAJvpmzAdivM
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,120Please respect copyright.PENANA7b0iqSQ7HA
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.120Please respect copyright.PENANAc77wUKlXIw
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,120Please respect copyright.PENANAsaaI6kVdHD
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see120Please respect copyright.PENANAIiIAdHnWvB
the war that rages inside me.120Please respect copyright.PENANAZMO0kqlW2o
Yet in the dark, when I am still,120Please respect copyright.PENANAs12NYxqFLb
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,120Please respect copyright.PENANA5CbEn6PLbz
they whisper truths beneath the stars.120Please respect copyright.PENANAdy1mLDq9Tf
And though the world may never ask,120Please respect copyright.PENANAKuz5gjLaRM
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
