you realise
one is really truly alone
my smile hides my tears
my laugh - my screams
my eyes - my longing for you
things are never as they seem
many things go untold
such as my
not a care for the world
my not a care for you
allow me to let you in on a little secret
the urge to let me free
but instead
i practise my smile in the mirror
and
make my laugh clearer
and decide
to hide behind the mask
for
i have the moon as company
you realise
one is really truly alone
