cry tears of shame
he whips into shape
the back of shallow
wishes never meant
face scourged
and rent in fury
violence unbeknownst
to the outside
I’m just a face
to the outside
I forget my place
with long sleeves
an black apron
I descend into the valley
blend in with you
laughing in feigned joy
hey
if only you knew
I really like the tone of this piece. Well done!

It can be exhausting putting on an act, I do it too but probably to a lesser extent.

It is. I know I look uncomfortably out of place, but sometimes I just have to give up and be weird for a few.
