[bodytext] => the face i wear for you to see has never belonged to me but the face that i will show you now is the truest of my lies somehow a blanket of rust on lacerated flesh it drips with blood it reeks of death but if you stare too long into those fading eyes you'll see it simply cannot die this mask i wear for masquerade isn't one that i stole or made this face i show to repulse the most used to be me now just a ghost i'm not sure who i am these daze blurred edges re-create the maze i'm trapped inside, i can't get out (but if you listen close, you can hear me shout) THE MASK I WEAR FOR YOU TO SEE HAS NEVER BEEN A PART OF ME BUT THE HATE THAT I WILL SHOW YOU NOW IS THE TRUTH I DISTRUST MOST SOMEHOW i'm everyone from time to time but when i search for self i cannot find the parts of me i left behind when they showed me how wrong they found my rights now i wait inside the prison of skin that i long ago locked myself in behind this lie i choose to stay growing weaker everyday losing my grip on all that's real acting a part that i don't feel abandoned in an endless dream that echoes with my tortured screams DEAFENED BY MY OWN DAMN LIES SO LOUD THAT THEY MUFFLE MY CRIES I CAN'T EVEN REACH OUT FOR HELP because i'm trapped within myself everything i thought was me was just a lie that i told me don't know what is real anymore with tears i write upon the floor if i'm not me then who am i? if i'm not real can i still die? my only hope of letting go this blood's the only truth i know and as my blood pools on the floor the lies don't matter anymore and as numb fingers drop the blade i say goodbye to my masquerade [comments] => 5 [counter] => 208 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Cancer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
