Darkface

its a dark scary place,
but i hide it beneath this perfect face.
you dont know what i go through,
i wish i didnt know too.
the darkness is what i embrace,
but what you see on this face...
is not what it seems to be,
but inside the light is locked away as the dark rooms free.
i look around myself,
the truth hiding itself.
i see light in everyone,
and i cant trust anyone.
people tell me i need to be open minded,
but they wont understand till they find it.
the dark will consume you,
and your life too.
its impossible to get out,
i know this without a doubt.
i am in that darkplace,
but like i said beneath this face...
there is nothing but a deep dark place
