#fakepersona
My emotions feel synthetic Fake feelings from a fake persona that I crafted to please you If only I could live for myself But I'm acting in a play One without an audience So who am acting for? In those moments alone where I wail Who am I doing this for? Constantly reinventing myself But why? I wish I could be free of this theatre I hunger for the curtains to close For the blazing lights to dim And to sense the silent applause Die out.

Silent Applause
To break someone's heart is to break yourself each and every time, with every heart unconsciously becoming broken in tiny bits and pieces of your former self until you become your own stranger within leaving behind those unacknowledged parts of yourself forgotten as nothingness conquers all and dust seduces the wind reigning into an empty void that used to call your name.
