Trapped gasping for air
All eyes on you, can’t hide from the glare
Feet stuck firm on the ground
Swimming in the deep oceans of thought I could drown
Jaw clenched
Fists wrenched
Tense.
Smile they say
Pretend like everything is okay
On with the show
Its been 19 years, keep the façade status quo
Your mask shall not fade this soon
There is a lifetime ahead till the full moon.
