Porcelain skin
Contrasting crimson lips so thin
Gaudy, painted face
Hiding painful emotions in place
Needing of control
Suppression causing suffocation of the soul,
Drowning in pain
Silent screams escape lethargic lips again
Fake smiles plastered on
Hiding true feelings as though gone,
behind a painted face
used as an emotive erase.
