Pretty Masks
November 15, 2012
I understand
Really, I do
Actually, if you want
the truth
I'm crying...screaming
inside
The saying 'my heart is breaking'
doesn't describe
what my heart is doing
My heart
is bleeding
But,
I know you dont want dont
want the truth
so I' great
I'm smiling
and laughing.
Lies make pretty masks
and you enjoy mine.
