Buried

Does anyone know we are all buried?

I am.

I have been screaming for days.

Can no one hear me?

I am the girl buried

beneath the one posing

to be

me.

Can't you hear my screams?

They must be silenced

by the the laughter she feigns.

Can't you see my nightly tears?

Or has she, once again, buried them

behind smiles?

DIG DEEPER!

And you will find me.

The buried me.

Or do the dirt and bugs disgust you?

Do you prefer the pristine greenery

on the surface?

Well, that "beauty" is

suffocating me.
