Story Left Untold
Scarred and bruised
Beaten and broken
Hold it all in
these words unspoken
Bound at the hands
Tied at the feet
No one to know
of my pitiful defeat
A beautiful mask
To hide my eyes
A smile painted on
Mouth pouring out lies
If they only knew
Weakness lying within
Brittle and fragile
Tattered and thin
But they see what I choose
What glitters is gold
My secret kept safe
My story left untold
