Behind my semblance

Inside

chaos reigns

Pretend and hide in

masks with

painted smiles

Afraid

Disarray

Immersed by a cloud of blackness

Astray

Dismayed

My thoughts are scattered and reeling

Suppress my feelings

Hiding

inner pain

Silently weeping

Faking

a phony smile

Afraid

Disarray

Immersed by a cloud of blackness

Astray

Dismayed

My thoughts are scattered and reeling

Trapped in my parade

No light to guide my way

Jokes to hide my emotions

Wrapped in lies, astray

I keep on lying

Apologizing

I’m afraid

Too afraid

I’m hiding

Behind my semblance

Inside

chaos reigns

Pretend and hide in

masks with

painted smiles

Silently weeping

Faking

a phony smile
