Behind this smile, I hide.
Behind these eyes, I cower.
Behind the laughter, I cry.
Behind the silence, I scream.
Behind the peace, my war rages.
Behind the calm, my heart races.
Behind this visage, I keep the pain at bay.

amazing. you convey so much with such simplicity. your style seems to be to lay the truth bare on the page, which makes it all the more impressive. sometimes poets spend too much time hiding the kernel of intent in their work in too much fluff. this is a lovely piece. well done.

we all wear masks by the time we so much are used to them but inside it hurts it burns your soul
