Masks

There's so many people,
Talking,
Communicating but never sharing;
No, never revealing,
Their true self
Because everyone's ashamed:
Of who they are,
what they believe in,
where they're from,
where they're going

So that's why,
I sit and watch sometimes;
Silent
Because its quaint really,
To see everyone pretend,
and occasionally,
watch the masks peel away

I am currently sat in school, where I should be focussed on some meaningless coursework. Instead, I've sat and watch as everyone faked it.
Writing is way better than soft tissue injuries, Im just saying

Persona, shattered

Quiet,
Everything's so silent,
Eerily so
Silence creates
Mystery,creates fear;

Alone,
Isolated by my being,
My persona shatters,
I am not who you thought
I am much, much worse

Derived from insanity,
Carved in imperfection,
Encased in pessimism,
Warped with confusion,
I am done.

I've been feeling pretty **** recently so I wrote some **** poetry to go with my mood. Enjoy~s

Tampered Purity

Take my hand
Let's get away from here;
Let us escape the intensity,
That is reality.
Let us wander:
Into the realms of imagination,
The spectacles of fantasy,
Stopping not once.
To reach the light, we must travel through the dark
Past the broken hearts
Past the sorrowed days
The dark is immense.
Past the antecedent
We walk through the perils of life
Of love, if it exists,
This is an uncertain time.

At last, the light approaches,
We reach the area of escapism,
But alas it's tampered
With the remnants of solace.

those that shine

There are those that shine;
To a particular person,
A beacon of light in a sea of darkened faces.

Those shining ones:
Beautiful,
Vivacious,
perfect?
An idealistic attraction

But, spare a thought,
For those who do not shine:
But instead,
Merely glimmer,
flicker,
perhaps even twinkle

Why is it, they are brushed aside?
Forgotten,
Because they aren't as beautiful, vivacious,
They're not perfect.

In attempt to reach the one that shines -
We push past endless possibilities,
Countless glimmers,
Ceaseless flickers,
Abundant twinkles.

erm yeah, being second best ***** and I wanted to try and explain that
