A Front

Midnight stares from courageous eyes
A dark outlook in disguise

Striking cold behind a front
A frigid smile lands the stunt

Few words fool and appear as peace
As behind the lines, tears fight release

Emotions stay tucked behind a grin
Charitably giving whats been taken

Worn of hiding, it still endures
Deep down the damage anxiously roars

Midnight stares from courageous eyes
A dark outlook in disguise

Broken and blue but blending in
Feelings seem pointless when kept within
