Draped, in a long sleeve shirt, to cover the evidence
 And painting an expression of contentful bliss
 But it is simply an illusion for the sake of others
 Denial the easiest act to employ


 Crimson tears stream down and pool on the floor
 A slight shudder from the sting of the razor’s kiss
 Momentary reprieve from the turbulance in her mind
 This pain her only time of joy


 But the outside world only sees the smile on her face
 A subtle attempt to make it seem like nothing’s amiss
 Her false expression of happiness forever a burden to her
 Because no one wants a broken toy…

Broken toys
Draped, in a long sleeve shirt, to cover the evidence
 And painting an expression of contentful bliss
 But it is simply an illusion for the sake of others
 Denial the easiest act to employ


 Crimson tears stream down and pool on the floor
 A slight shudder from the sting of the razor’s kiss
 Momentary reprieve from the turbulance in her mind
 This pain her only time of joy


 But the outside world only sees the smile on her face
 A subtle attempt to make it seem like nothing’s amiss
 Her false expression of happiness forever a burden to her
 Because no one wants a broken toy…
