Beneath My Beautiful
Beneath My Beautiful.
Beneath my beautiful,
Lies alot,
Some of which,
You may not want to see.
Carefully piled up,
Made up,
Covered up to conceal,
The truth of what lies
within.
Beneath my beautiful,
Lies heartache, sorrow
and pain,
Fear of going through
the same,
Desire to have things
change,
Need to wipe out Hurt's
stains.
See I was told,
That only the strong and
the bold,
Will get peace and joy
that I so
wished to behold,
So I walked up to the
mirror,
Wiped off my tears and,
Pampered up my eyes
with
mascarra.
Covered the the veins of
pain with
eyeshadow,
And on the cheeks
marked with
tear stains,
Added a little colour,
One pat here,
One pat there,
And I was done.
I was ready to face the
world,
Get that joy that I knew I
deserved,
But I forgot that each
journey has
its shine and rain,
And so it rained,
I with no other plan than
A,
No where to shelter or
shade,
And thus my beautiful
was slowly
washed away.
Beneath my beautiful,
Lies unending cries,
Consuming desire,
Desperate pleas,
For joy and peace,
Lord Here is what lies
beneath the
masquerade of happiness,
That smile curved on the
mask,
Is as false and fake,
Like fertility in the statue
of
liberty,
Beneath my beautiful lies
the real
me,
Sort me out I beg thee
please.
