The Underlying Truth

I hold your mask in the palm of my hands

Fragile as glass, strong as steel

You dropped it on your way in

Showing me your face behind the lies

 

You walked away, leaving problems that weigh

Me down, but you never took the time

To stay, Everything was more important

Than me, I'm your little girl

Or I was supposed to be

But I get it now, I finally see

That you just lied to me

 

I lift my eyes to meet your own

Suprised to see no shock lay there

Beneath the imoral of your sass

You almost had me fooled

 

You walked away

Leaving problems that weigh

Me down, but you never took the time

To stay, everything was more important

Than that day when you lied throughthis mask

The one that I hold now

Do you feel bad?

 

Just try to penetrate this iron clad

Cause you can't

I wont let you you admit it already

I was just a fad

Of yours until I was done

Done with the games and the plays

that you beat into my brain

I'm done!

 

I throw your lies back in your face

Watch a smile grow on your cheeks

And just stand there as you slip them back on

Glide out of the room

Out of my life

 

You walked away

Leaving problems that weigh

Me down, But you never took the time

To stay, so just stay away.

 

 

Author's Note

This is the same poem essentially, but just transformed into a song, thanks to Pokie, I thought I'd try it out, never written a song before so spill it:)

Awesome! When I read this, I felt like I was reading the lyrics to a song, and it made me like it even more! I'm not sure how you are when it comes to writing songs (personally, I'm not too good at it), but if you enjoy it or think you might ever try it, I defintely suggest you try transforming this! (Of course, don't get me wrong, I believe this is just as a good as a poem as well. I love music and poetry both, they go hand in hand with me. Sometimes, I catch myself mixing them up...^^).
Anywho, wonderful write! I enjoyed reading this.
