Hidden Emotion

I Hide

I hide.

I paint on smiles made of sunshine.

I compose musical laughter that

spills out of my mouth.

I flaunt a mask

Of a girl who is at peace with herself.

But what lies underneath

My cheerful porcelain facade?

A girl

who is tired

so very tired.

Shattered pieces

And whirlwinds of anxiety.

I'm fractured

My mask is breaking

And I'm scared

of people seeing

what

is

beneath.

A/N: I apologize for the lack of updates- school has been so time-consuming, and life has been tiring. But I'm back, and I will continue to make new poems for you all every chance I get! I love you all!
