People talk about
our perfect smiles,
Just a camouflage
for sins and lies.
Pretty curtains
and fairy lights,
Only God knows all
that we well hide.
Their blank stares are enough
to shush our cries,
Trapped inside concrete bars,
Has the world gone blind?
Hearts they’ve turned to stone,
twice we’ll die
Handshakes all along
a façade we provide.
Smile for the camera
don’t show your dark side,
Hug your brother now,
Or you’ll pay a price,
**** him later on
And we’ll never mind.
Sadly floating through
the paths amplified
with broken pieces of
our souls cast aside.
Wedding bells ring loud
For the Devil’s bride,
White is what we wear, it’s
black inside.
Can’t escape from this,
No suicide,
Don’t look through our veils,
You’ll be horrified.
