untitled (Free verse) by minty
Behind my mask i hide my tears,
my swollen eyes beneath show fear,
it drowns my lips because of what you said,
look where the pain you brought me led.
How many times have i kneeled before you,
or how i used to do what you want me to?
However many times i became too foolish,
to keep thinking that without you i will banish.
And now, here alone i stand,
for i always believed i have your hand,
now im here surviving without you,
with only my mask as i hide what's true.
Behind my mask i hide,
because of fear to swallow my pride.
Behind my mask i'm drowend with tears,
that you brought through all these years.
Thus you made me a lot stronger,
you made me realize to love myself better.
Not because im now alone,
but from our experiences in which we've grown.
Although you've hurt me more than enough,
i have been strong, don't i look tough?
And now that we are bidding our goodbyes,
i promise these tears won't last long in my eyes.
