Mascaraed

+

When words fail to reach
my closed and lifeless lips.
A suffocation of the mind
leaves me numb and unable to feel.
Masked in confusion
in the shell that feels so miss shaped,
searching fearlessly
to fit in once and for all.

Borderline tears
So many personalities
trying to take the stage.
yet
my inner beauty is trapped
in a lifeless cage.

Everyday the mask reveals
what it is inside,
for today i am floating
lost in my thoughts,
heavy and incomplete.

I'm laking everything
I know I need to face
inside.
I can go in circles
trying to find balance
Between
the light
and the dark .

yet
my mask hides
everything
very well.
