A flawless façade
Nobody sees all her hurt
Nor all of her pain
All her dreams long-forgotten
Crushed or unachieved
The sad little broken girl
Her perfect mask hides the truth
Who is this young one
The one who wears such a mask
One sad and broken
The one with the broken dreams
That sad broken girl is me
No one sees my pain
Nor the many tears I've cried
Burying sadness
They see a happy young girl
All they see is the façade
My mask is cracking
But still only few see me
I can't let them see
The sad little broken girl
Sad and broken, that is me
A hard outer shell
Strengthened by others mean words
A flawless façade
Hiding the broken inside
Hiding the broken one, me
*A.N. So this is a choka, it's a Japanese type of poetry and we were writing these in English today so I figured I'd write one for you guys. It is kinda really depressing and repetetive but I hadn't had the best of days today and bad days usually translate into poetry days. Anyway if you like it vote comment and all that jazz
