your eyes leaking effortlessly
staining your face with smudged black lines
from the mask you hide behind
everyday
you wake up
avoid the mirror
until you've got your face fit snugly back on
you feel comfortable
the gentle folds of your daily mask
know you very well

you manage a smile
a nod of satisfaction
as you leave to start your day
exposing to the world
nothing they haven't seen before
until you return
only to wash it all away
with your flowing tears
guiding paths
to who you are underneath
the unfamiliar mask

can you find me space inside your bleeding heart?

I love the feeling this conveys. I feel as though I've been the girl in your poem before, trapped by monotony, unknown and misunderstood.

The imagery was great. Detailed enough to get your point across, but vague enough to be one size fits all.

Thanks for sharing.

i really love this.
this is one of the best poems i have read...
it says so much...

I ask why, but in my mind,
I find i cant really rely on myself.

brilliant.

I am a wilted black rose. Searching for cracks of sunlight, to nurture me. And to help me grow.
