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
