[hometext] => so placid and fake, how will anyone ever see?
[bodytext] => Put on this mask I laugh easily What can I say? Depression? Make it go away Self-doubt, imperfection? Please let it fade I'm not my only problem And am well aware I will not catch a break So I shall replace my mask So placid and fake This world is other than bleak But, without eyes, how will I see? Dig into my skin Internal, external alike; bleed Forgive me Father, for I have sinned How else would I be "me" ...placid and fake... Like the rest, all that I hate How will I ever be restored To my prevous state? I'm too far in, never to be the same Who will know what lies beneath? This horrid skin-deep smile? Please tell me someone can see I'm just not who I used to be I'm sorry for this mask It has left me alof No one will ever see This mask refuses to come off [comments] => 1 [counter] => 188 [topic] => 13 [informant] => SmileSkinDeep [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
