Masked Lies

Holding emotion in

Behind a glass mask

 Know everyone-

 Thinks its a picture

Sometimes its the truth 

No-one believes it anymore

 Just keep holding it up

Never let go

 The mask illusioned as bulletproof

 Bullets whiz right through

Shattering the image built up for the world

Fight hold on to the shards in your hand

Glue expectations and reality

Meld in a messy frame

Hardened soul cries blood

Building bricks of tears

 Know its all worth it

Keep your eye on the prize 

Moments' aren't lost in the eyes

 Shattered glass reflects them 

Images distorted in puddles

Smokescreens stab lungs

Gasping for future

Eyes unfocused

Framed in 

Masks of lies
