Truth Behind The Smile


Masquerading ambience held in dwell. Lacks depth; Lived perception shallow. Full of eyes jaded to pastel, within sight depleted. Thus hollow. Deceit woven twine, stapled upon this mask. Etching, to replace. Cinching down sight lied. These surviving parts of me fading slowly. More and more with every twine tightly tied. Deserted wallowing, sequestered in this crowded party of ghosts. Eccedentesiast replaced my identified way. Consequence, twisting me obedient. Vanity held bloated to help float flooded days. Time worn thin, undermines clinched fists will. I believe beyond growing, grown ends, begin. Mercy withheld; weighting tortured remains. Twisting guilt scattered scars forever expanding within.
