Behind the disguise of a smile Fear quivers in the shadows Adrift from society Numbness takes over- allowing all to shut down No-one is life-boated from the cloak covering her The disguise hiding the drowning girl she is Hurricanes of confusion prevent from air Weights tying down, sinking, unable to breathe All pouring in until there is no more her Rip Currents of emotions dragging her under Poseidon's wrath begins to take over inside The sirens poisonous song leads her to false hope Standing in the shadows of hypocrisy and Judgement Her body blindly shading to numb blue Yet her mask distracts from her gasps for air Suffocating on overwhelming anger, sadness, joy, Feeling with every inch of her bones Constantly at war, one second swimming Suddenly the tsunamis of her lows ****** her under Then Slowly the pace begins to tame Slowing, slowing, until inevitably stopping before time Helplessness fills her lungs Not even CPR can save her now Finally the storms stand at ease Free at last as the last breath is exhaled Leaving behind the omission to mourn Heavens wings will soon explain The Treaty of Peace is signed ropes of emotion now unraveled None will understand at last the numbness fades The mask falls off Left floating on the tides of tomorrow
