Paul Gardiner Poet Rhyme

The Mask Doesn'T Hide Your Scars'

I can't breathe when I think of you

My heart skips a beat

One then two... I think deeply.

I mask myself

Each and every day

Hoping you won't see all of this pain that's inside of me

I know that the mirror doesn't lie

So
I often avoid

Looking myself directly in the eye

I cannot stand another bad dream

My heart was hurting

But

I didn't scream

Will I ever wake from all of this

Madness and chaos

Chasing away what could be

A life without evil

Is what I want to see. I smile.
