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.
