She tore my mask off,
Betraying my trust,
I put the truth in her hands,
She showed it to the world.
She put it on display,
For millions of eyes,
Millions of ears.
Just like that,
All my efforts disappeared,
As the words slipped into the air.

Their faces,
Barbie Dolls forced to smile,
Plastic skin,
Plastic hearts.
They heard the truth,
Yet they did not grasp it.
They let it fall between their fingers,
Falling to the ground,
Shattered.

How can they not see?
She tore my mask off,
Left me exposed.

Exposed,
My secrets lingered,
The truth flew through their ears,
Yet their plastic hearts,
Plastic brains,
Failed to understand.
