Transparent Masks

Fighting a war

That no-one can see

Live life, loving poor

Deep inside of me

I struggle and fight

But, it just won’t leave

With all of my might

To hope to and cleave

Frustration and loss

Both lonely and sad

So many costs

And dues that I’ve had

To the other side

I helplessly reach

To find comfort and hide

For one to embrace me

I know I’m not alone

Others feel this way too

But nothing feels like home

My heart bruised, black and blue

The wound, camouflaged

An invisible pain

I bleed into the scenery

A sweet smile on my face

So you’ll never know

You'll never have too address

The hurt that I hold

Inside my beautiful mess
