Mask
Well, this is one of the poems I wrote when I couldn't stand to keep my emotions inside any longer. I usually don't share my free verse with anyone, mostly because I don't ususally share my emotions, but I'd like to see what you guys think.
She hides it.
The pain, the sorrow, the misery.
Behind the lauging mask of a girl,
Grinning broadly on the outside,
While silently battlling the blazing inferno of sadness
Smoldering inside her. She never shows it.
Never reveals the monster
Slowly eating her alive.
Lying restlessly, waiting for blissful sleep to come,
She finally caves in, lets the silent sobs shake her body.
Still, she keeps going.
Bravely battling the beast inside,
While keeping on the mask.
The mask that hides the monster.
Me.
The pain, the sorrow, the misery.
Behind the lauging mask of a girl,
Grinning broadly on the outside,
While silently battlling the blazing inferno of sadness
Smoldering inside her. She never shows it.
Never reveals the monster
Slowly eating her alive.
Lying restlessly, waiting for blissful sleep to come,
She finally caves in, lets the silent sobs shake her body.
Still, she keeps going.
Bravely battling the beast inside,
While keeping on the mask.
The mask that hides the monster.
Me.

:'( This is really good, but it's really sad and gloomy...
Thanks. Sorry for the gloomy mood. It's just how I feel at the moment.
what do you mean, you're a monster?!?! i've seen your picture, and you're really cute. i love your tiny buttony nose, and your cool hair that's only curly on the inside, apparently! the poem's great, has rlly cool words, but really, Christy!! channel your inner pickles, for cryin' out loud!!!
Hahaha! Thanks, usually my sister teases me about how big my nose is. I meant monster metaphorically though.
yes, obviously it was a metaphore....
Okay Ioana. I'll learn to channel my inner pickles.
