heathen
A heathen, a stone,
A cut that doesn't bleed.
A clown, a shapeshifter
We’re all one of these.
A closet full of masks,
Not sure which to wear
Carrying stones on my back
Not sure to put where.
We all hide stuff,
Indeed we all lie.
I keep it locked, away
Out of sight yet not out of mind.
When there's an urge, and i slip it out
How simply pathetic,
In the moment self control doesn't count
So ill hide the rest, laugh out the week
But my mask becoming a sieve,
The weight more than my own
I simply cannot carry it
Hold it alone.
The urge to give out,
Call life at quits.
But i have no right, i am simply a vessel,
Of my thoughts and shouts,
Laughs and pains,
Loses and gains.
So i let some out, feeling bad after
Keep some in, staining my laughter
