The Pretender's Plea

can you see behind the mask

By GypstinaPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

This yearning denied, unsatisfied

for the desire from another to discover what I hide

My words and my actions, conditioned to lie

Self-preservation, learned quickly as a child

But my soul is exposed in the words that I write

Journals, poems, and playlists-just open your eyes

Scraps of paper, scattered truths, hidden in plain sight

Screaming for someone...

to love what they find...
