Behind the Mask

"Shadows are never needed to hide in. it's the smile that's hidden,yet still in sight. fake laughter,hurt & attitude that will never mend. eyes that live in dark & don't care if their heart never see 's a light. A suit with a tie go's with being rich. words are not needed to "show & tell." a conscience will always avoid an itch. it's their own private world they smell. Behind the mask that smile has turned in to a grin. most likely it has been there all along. everyday is a masquerade that lets the eyes & ears listening in pretend. can't fight when their the only ones who are strong" 10/7/18
