Masks

 

Lightening crashes

Thunder rolls

 Fierce passion

Overtakes my soul

My anger is blazing

Frantically inside

It’s given no place

To run, to hide

To hurt someone

Becomes my desire

My soul erupts

Into a lake of fire

I long for someone

To feel the pain

That’s quickly driving

Me insane

I’m crying a single

Neglected tear

My anger slowly

Turns to fear

I fear you’ll see through my mask of anger

To the reality that lies within

To the place behind my forcible wall

Where I conceal the real me in

To the place where the frightened

Crying inner child stands

Begging and wishing

For outstretched loving hands

I shield my weaknesses

With brutality

My tears behind a smile

My uncertainties

Beneath an air of confidence

My list goes on for miles

I fear that I am alone

Like I’m the one and only

In fact I feel that I am lost

I realize I am lonely
